约翰福音 6: 47-51 John 6:47-51 (NLT)
47我实实在在的告诉你们，信的人有永生。48我就是生命的粮。49你们的祖宗在旷野吃過吗哪，还是死了。50这是从天上降下来的粮，叫人吃了就不死。51我是从天上降下来生命的粮；人若吃这粮，就必永遠活著。我所要赐的粮就是我的肉，为世人之生命所赐的。
47 “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes has eternal life. 48 Yes, I am the bread of life! 49 Your ancestors ate manna in the wilderness, but they all died. 50 Anyone who eats the bread from heaven, however, will never die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever; and this bread, which I will offer so the world may live, is my flesh.”

我在我的生日以吉他弹这首歌：只要与耶稣同在
I played my song on the guitar on my Birthday: Just to be with Jesus
（副歌）
只要与耶稣同在,
只要等、等候他。
只要享受他的同在，
这是我灵的甜蜜。
耶稣是生命之粮，
我要喂他赐的粮。
耶稣是生命之活水，
我喝了永不口渴。
耶稣是羊群之门,
我要从他而进入。
耶稣是至好的牧人，
他为我们舍了命。
Chorus:
Just to be with Jesus,
just to wait upon him.
Just to enjoy his presence,
This is sweet to my soul.
Jesus is the bread of life.
I want to feed upon him.
Jesus is the living water.
That in drinking I may never thirst.
Jesus is the door of the sheep.
I want to enter in.
Jesus is the Good Shepherd.
He gave his life for us all.
