ZACHARY'S NOTES:
Stanza 1 // The world God has made gives us many great gifts - all of which leave us unfilled apart from Jesus Christ. The call of Christ comes from one who has the “words of eternal life” - greater than all gifts of the world, even the most miraculous manna given to God’s people in the Old Testament.
Stanza 2 // Those who know Jesus Christ have nowhere else to go! When we “taste the ever-living bread” and quench our “thirsting souls” with our Lord’s mercy and forgiveness, we cling to these words in faith.
Stanza 3 // Our “changing lot” in life is the seemingly random decisions and happenings in life we experience apart from Christ. “Where is God in all of this?” is solved in this hymn when Christ “smiles on us in love” and “holds us fast in faith.”
Stanza 4 // The final stanza is a prayer. When Christ promises to be with us in flesh and blood, the “night of sin” is “chased away” by the holy, perfect light of our Lord, by which we have eternal life today - here and now.
