Five Loaves and Two Fishes

A little boy of thirteen

was on his way to school

He heard a crowd of people laughing

and he went to take a look


Thousands were listening

to the stories of one man

He spoke with such wisdom,

even the kids could understand


The hours passed so quickly

the day turned to night

Everyone was hungry

but there was no food in sight

The boy looked in his lunchbox

at the little that he had

He wasn't sure what good it'd do

there were thousands to be fed


But he saw the twinkling eyes of Jesus

the kindness in His smile

and the boy cried out

with the trust of a child

he said:


"Take my five loaves and two fishes

Do with it as you will, I surrender

Take my fears and inhibitions

All my burdens, my ambitions

You can use it all

to feed them all"
