FEED ME O LORD by Fr. Bart C. Ezeokafor — Lyrics
About FEED ME O LORD
"Feed Me O Lord" is a deeply reverent Communion hymn by Fr. Bart C. Ezeokafor (FadaBarto). Drawing its core message directly from the Gospel of John, the song reflects the soul's profound yearning for the Eucharist.
It is perfectly suited for the Communion procession during Mass. The verses draw on rich scriptural imagery—from the deer yearning for running streams to the dry, weary land longing for water—guiding the congregation into a state of spiritual hunger and readiness to receive the Body and Blood of Christ.
The melody carries a gentle, pleading tone that matches the vulnerability of the lyrics. Calling on Jesus as the "sweet Pelican" and the "Manna from heaven," the choir invites everyone in the pews to recognize their complete dependence on God, acknowledging that without the true vine, we can do nothing.
