Cast Your Bread Upon the Water

Lyrics by Jeff Dahlgren and Matt Bliton

Cast your bread upon the water
It will come back again
Cast your bread upon the water
It will come back again
How things seem in the beginning
Might not be how they end

Beyond our understanding
Beyond what we can learn
Cast your bread upon the water
Some day it will return

The good may be good enough

And still be the enemy of the best

If you are pulled in two directions
You will find no place to rest

Take one step toward heaven
It will take seven steps toward you*
Take one step toward heaven
It will come running right to you
Turn your back on what you fear
A new light will shine on through

*A Persian proverb

Repeat first verse
