“What are you looking for?” (1)
Do you know why you came to me?
What did you hear about me?
You need to ask yourself, “What am I looking for?”
“You refuse to come to me to have life.” (2)
Don’t you believe that life comes from your bread?
Isn’t vital life in the circulation of the blood?
Don’t you believe that dynamic life comes from your strong body?
Why did you come to me?
“What do you want me to do for you?” (3)
What do you really want to do with me?
Did you come to me to have well-being in your world?
Have you heard that you can get prosperity in this world?
With me, what do you really want to do with me?
I am the bread of life. (4) But I am not bread.
My flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. (5)
But I am not food and drink.
I am the truth, the way and the life but you cannot see
Because you do not come to me to have life.
Life is spirit; spirit is love.
God of whom you speak is spirit, life and love.
Do you really want to see?
Really, do you want to have life with me?
