Fresh bread, cool water, come and receive it
Fresh bread, cool water, come and receive it
Cease from your labors, come now and dine
Fresh bread, cool water, come get the oil and wine

In every life there comes a time to dance
In every life there comes a time to be still
Sometimes you're given' out until there's nothin' left
Then there's a time that comes to be refreshed and filled

Repeat Chorus

Come get the oil of gladness, and the bread of life
Come get the living water, be refreshed tonight
Come get the fruit of joy, come on and dance in the dirt
We'll get the mud off your shoes and
Have you back to the table in time for dessert

Repeat Chorus

There's a season of labor, then a day of rest
There's a time of trial, then you pass the test
There's a time when the wind blows, then a time of peace
There's a time when you have to fast, then a time, a time when you feast

CHORUS

Come get the living water
Come get the bread of life
Come get the oil of gladness
Be refreshed tonight
Cease from your labor, come now and dine
Fresh bread, cool water, come get the oil and wine
