\u201cI wrote this song two years ago with Bryan Fowler and Micah Kuiper, and then it sat in my Dropbox for a year,” TAYA said. “Just before going on tour in April this year, I felt we should lead it, so that’s what we did. We sang it worldwide for six months – we haven’t stopped singing it yet.”<\/p>\n

She added, “I pray that as you hear Jesus\u2019 invitation it moves you to action, to walk in the light as He is in the light. Our merciful God sees<\/p>\n

us and loves us anyway. He invites us to have a relationship with Him up close and personal. By the grace of God, as we walk with Him and surrender, He will lead us in a better way. May we heed His invitation, start running toward Him, and come into the Light.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dove Award-winning singer, pianist, songwriter, arranger, and storyteller Fernando Ortega has released his first new single in nearly three years, \u201cJesus, Bread Of Life.\u201d Available now at digital and streaming outlets internationally via https:\/\/linktr.ee\/fernandoortegamusic, the song is the lead single from Ortega\u2019s \u201cFor All The Saints\u201d EP set to release next month and featuring songs meant for the church and congregational worship.<\/p>\n

Co-produced by Ortega and Matthew Tobias and engineered and mixed by Russ Long (Newsboys, Tenth Avenue North, Keith & Kristyn Getty), \u201cJesus, Bread Of Life\u201d was written during a The Porter\u2019s Gate writer\u2019s retreat held a few years ago at the Art House in Nashville.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not the first communion song I\u2019ve recorded, but what I like about it is how it is an invitation to the downtrodden, people in need \u2013 that theme of the gospel inviting people who are marginalized to the table,\u201d Ortega said, quoting the lyrics in verse two of the song, \u201cSister take what you need, anything I own. There is no famine here, the love of Jesus multiplies. Brother what\u2019s mine is yours, you are not alone. There is no shortage here, the love Jesus satisfies.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJesus, Bread of Life\u201d Chorus:<\/p>\n

O Lord, come fill us with your love<\/em><\/p>\n

At this table made for us<\/em><\/p>\n

There is more than enough<\/em><\/p>\n

Jesus, Bread of Life<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The single also features harmonies by Fernando\u2019s 15-year-old daughter, Ruby, who has sung at New York\u2019s Carnegie Hall and is slated to sing at Disneyland Park in the near future with her state championship-winning high school choir.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe has a fantastic sense of pitch and started making up harmonies to the song as she heard it on the way to and back again from school,\u201d remembers Ortega. \u201cThis song is one of our favorites on the upcoming EP.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
