In every heart that sings.Chorus

And spent His merciful rain.

Wine for all peoples: people who thirst.
May we who eat be bread for others.
May we who drink pour out our love.Verse 1

broken to reach and heal the wounds of human pain.
Where we divide your people, you are waiting there
on bended knee to wash our feet with endless care.Refrain

Wine for all peoples: people who thirst.
May we who eat be bread for others.

poured into hearts once broken and where dryness sleeps.
Where we are tired and weary, you are waiting there
to be the way which beckons us beyond despair.Refrain

Wine for all peoples: people who thirst.
May we who eat be bread for others.

Where we survive on others in our human greed,
you walk among us begging for your every need.Refrain

May we who eat be bread for others.
May we who drink pour out our love.
