Jesus Himself is the central theme of this song. Not an experience. Not a doctrine. A Person. And the specific aspect of that Person is this: Jesus as the only source and guarantee of eternal life.
Let us look at what the Word of God says:
> “Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst.’”
> — *John 6:35, NASB*
All the lyrics revolve around this core revelation:
Scripture links this theme across multiple passages:
The song gathers these threads and weaves a single proclamation: Jesus alone satisfies the deepest hunger and thirst of the human soul, now and forever.
If we misunderstand eternal life, we will misunderstand the gospel. Eternal life is not only a duration; it is a relationship, a new kind of life, grounded in union with Jesus Christ.

To understand these declarations, we must step into the context in which Jesus spoke them.
### John 6: “I am the Bread of Life”
In John 6, Jesus has just miraculously fed five thousand men, besides women and children, with five loaves and two fish. The crowd follows Him the next day, seeking more bread. They want physical provision; Jesus offers them something far greater.
He says:
> “Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life…”
> — *John 6:27*
Then He makes a staggering claim:
> “I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst.”
> — *John 6:35*
He confronts a crowd that wants signs, miracles, and political deliverance, but He directs them to eternal life—life that begins now, and continues beyond death.
### John 3:16 – Jesus and Nicodemus
John 3 takes us to a private, night-time conversation. Nicodemus is a Pharisee, a ruler of the Jews, religiously devout, but spiritually blind. Jesus tells him:
> “Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
> — *John 3:3*
It is in this context that Jesus reveals:
> “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.”
> — *John 3:
