Daily Bread

The signal fades and the screen goes dim I'm stuck in the line where the minutes thin The coffee's wrong and the traffic crawls A thousand small weights that shouldn't feel tall I open the fridge and the shelves are full Still something's missing, I feel the pull Convenience hums like a quiet demand And I start to forget whose open hand Give me neither too much nor the empty plate Just the portion You set for this day Teach my heart to rest in the middle place Where plenty and want both bow to Your grace I've learned to be full, I've learned to be lean Content in the quiet of what I've been given Daily bread, daily bread Is enough when You're the One who leads The package is late and the app won't load A minor delay on a paved-out road I scroll through the choices until I'm tired Of having so much and still feeling required The lights stay on and the water runs clear Yet peace slips away when the small things appear I measure my days by the friction I feel And forget that the table was already set for a meal Give me neither too much nor the empty plate Just the portion You set for this day Teach my heart to rest in the middle place Where plenty and want both bow to Your grace I've learned to be full, I've learned to be lean Content in the quiet of what I've been given Daily bread, daily bread Is enough when You're the One who leads Keep me from the pride that forgets Your name Keep me from the need that turns to blame Whether the cup runs over or runs thin Let me find You faithful again and again Give me neither too much nor the empty plate Just the portion You set for this day I've learned the secret the hard way through In plenty or lack, my peace is You Daily bread, daily bread Is enough when You're the One who leads Daily bread is enough
