Words and music by John Stuart

lyrics

Son of Man at your mother's breast
She kept you warm, gave you your daily bread
But You would always hunger again
And one day her body would empty in death

Hebrew boy sitting on Joseph's knee
Your Father's Word, he'd help you memorize
When was the moment you both realized
He had been waiting to kneel at your feet?

Carpenter dragging a sinner's tree
Simon helped when you became too weak
Though he could carry your cross up a hill
He couldn't shoulder the weight of his guilt

You took on flesh, you felt our need
But in the end we needed you

In you we live, in you we move
In you we have our being

Easy yoke, bread of life
You conquered death and ended our strife

You took on flesh, you felt our need
But in the end we needed you

Son of Man at your mother's breast
She'd drink of you and never thirst again
