The Bread of Life

The Bread of Life - M. Robbins

The Bread of Life died on this earth;
redeeming grace flowed from Christ’s side;
He offers now the second birth;
how blest the soul where Christ abides!

My soul was faint; my soul was weak;
my soul did ask for living bread;
His cleansing grace my soul did seek;
how blest the soul if Christ’s the Head!

Unto His side, He led the way;
my soul was fed by His dear self;
my dreadful sins He’s washed away;
how blest my soul for Christ Himself!

Since Christ, the Bread of Life, is mine,
He gives not crumbs, but gives His whole
and bids me daily on Him dine;
how truly blessed is my soul!

Everlasting

 Everlasting - M. Robbins

The joys of earth are doomed
    to loss;
all riches end as dross;
yes, nothing is forever here;
so, there’s no need to fear
for God’s own Word is clear:

What seems so right comes
    forth as wrong;
relentless pain is strong;
but nothing is forever here;
so, there’s no need to fear
for God’s own Word is clear:

God’s only Son my debt did
    pay;
my heart is where He stays;
now, in my soul forever's here;
so, there’s no need to fear
for God’s own Word is clear:

Chorus:
The everlasting God on high
is One who cannot lie
and He has said that I will be
with Him eternally -
yes, through eternity!
                     M. Robbins

2 different versions of a song by M. Robbins (so far song unnamed)

version 1

I have found a line
from God’s Book Divine,
words so rich, so fine:
Chorus:
“O Lord, You have pleaded
the causes of my soul:
You have redeemed my life.”
                       (chorus is basically from Lam 3:58)

Words so powerful,
words so wonderful
from a heart made whole:
Chorus:
“O Lord, You have pleaded
the causes of my soul:
You have redeemed my life.”

And those words I’ve claimed,
so I shall exclaim,
yes, I will proclaim:
Chorus:
“O Lord, You have pleaded
the causes of my soul:
You have redeemed my life.”

Christ, the Word, I’ll see
through eternity,
and my praise shall be:
Chorus:
“O Lord, You have pleaded
the causes of my soul:
You have redeemed my life.”

Words so powerful,

Since those words I’ve claimed,
I shall, too, exclaim,
yes, I will proclaim:

“O Lord, You have pleaded
the causes of my soul:
You have redeemed my life.”

Christ, the Word, I’ll see
through eternity,
and my praise shall be:
Chorus:
