5 Loaves and Two Fishes
A little boy of 13
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 into 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 a trust of a child
He said
Take my 5 loaves and 2 fishes
Do with it as you will
I surrender
Take my fears, my inefficients
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all, to feed them all
I often think about that boy
When I'm feeling small
And I worry that the work I do means nothing at all
And every single tear I cry
Is a diamond in his hands
And every door that slams in my face
I would offer up in prayer
So I give you every breath that I have
Oh Lord, you can work miracles
All you need is my Amen
So take my 5 loaves and 2 fishes
Do with it as you will
I surrender
Take my fears, my inefficients
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all
Hope it's not too small
I trust in you (x2)
So take my 5 loaves and 2 fishes
Do with it as you will
I surrender
Take my fears, my inefficients
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all
No gift is too small
