C G
Bounty original, fullness above.
Am F
Yielded creation abundant in love.||
C G
A garden, a calling to nurture and name –
Am F
Love's naked fruitfulness hidden from shame.||
G C F
But there in the fullness, an emptiness still,
G C F
that He alone would fill.
[C1]
C G
“All this I give you: the wind and the light,
Am F
and soil rendered into the body's delight. ||
C G
The gift of My Image, the fruit of the tree,
Em Am F Em Am G F C
Feed on Me. Feed on Me. Feed on Me.”
[V2]
Deep in our hunger, we nourished a fear:
“What we were made for is not given here.||
We ate the forbidden, and emptiness grew,
Swallowing all of the life that we knew.||
But there in the exile, of toil and of pain,
His fullness still remained.
[C2]
“All this I give you: the ram and the fire,
And manna to answer the desert's desire,||
The fields for the gleaning, the richest fare free,
Feed on Me. Feed on Me. Feed on Me.”

[V3]
Emptiness threatened to swallow the earth
‘til heaven's banquet came down in His birth.||
Now, false food forsaking, He feeds us again,
Nets full and breaking, and bread gathered in,||
But love's greatest table, no angel could tell:
He feeds us with Himself.
[C3]
“All this I give you: the True Bread come down,
A table of joy for the lost ones, now found,||
The blood and the body, the deep mystery,
Feed on Me. Feed on Me. Feed on Me”
[V4]
D A
Truly, we share now in Love's banquet song!
Bm G
Yet still we hunger and cry out “How long?”||
D A
A pilgrimage people now making our way
Bm G
Nourishing hope at this table of faith.||
A D G
But coming a banquet, desire meets delight,
A D G
And faith gives way to sight.
[C4]
D A
“All this I give you: My fullness again,
Bm G
The garden restored from the curses of sin,||
D A
The feast of a wedding, the flowering tree,
Feed on Me.
[C5]
“All this I give you: My fullness again,
Bm G
The garden restored from the curses of sin,||
D A
The feast of a wedding, the flowering tree,
F#m Bm G F#m Bm A G D
Feed on Me. Feed on Me. Feed on Me.
