5 Loaves and 2 Fishes
"Beautiful Seed" album
A little boy of thirteenwas on his way to schoolHe heard a crowd of people laughingand he went to take a lookThousands were listeningto the stories of one manHe spoke with such wisdom,even the kids could understandThe hours passed so quicklythe day turned to nightEveryone was hungrybut there was no food in sightThe boy looked in his lunchboxat the little that he hadHe wasn't sure what good it'd dothere were thousands to be fedBut he saw the twinkling eyes of Jesusthe kindness in His smileand the boy cried outwith the trust of a childhe said:"Take my five loaves and two fishesDo with it as you willI surrenderTake my fears and inhibitionsAll my burdens, my ambitionsYou can use it allto feed them all"I often think about that boywhen I'm feeling smalland I worry that the work I domeans nothing at allBut every single tear I cryis a diamond in His handsand every door that slams in my faceI will offer up in prayerSo I'll give you every breadth that I haveOh Lord, you can work miraclesAll that you need is my "Amen"Take my five loaves and two fishesDo with it as you willI surrenderTake my fears and inhibitionsAll my burdens, my ambitionsYou can use it allI hope it's not too smallI trust in youI trust in youTake my five loaves and two fishesDo with it as you willI surrenderTake my fears and inhibitionsAll my burdens, my ambitionsYou can use it allno gift is too small
and i stand in awe of your love
