Break Bread Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Let us break bread together on our knees
Let us break bread together on our knees
When I fall on my knees, with my face to the rising sun
Oh Lord, have mercy on me

[Verse 2]
Let us drink wine together on our knees
Let us drink wine together on our knees
When I fall on my knees, with my face to the rising sun
Oh Lord, have mercy on me
Oh Lord, have mercy on me

[Verse 3]
Let us praise God together on our knees
Let us praise God together on our knees
When I fall on my knees, with my face to the rising sun
Oh Lord, have mercy on me
Oh Lord, have mercy on me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

“Break Bread” is the 6th track on Josh Garrel’s first official album, Over Oceans.

He constructed this song by taking samples of Peter Gabriel’s “Passion”, George Winston’s “Lotus Feet” and Micky Hart percussion, from The Grateful Dead. He layered a hip hop beat on top of all this, then he sang a hymn over it.

The song is a simple picture of communion. The act of breaking bread, drinking wine and ultimately glorifying God, asking for His mercy.
