Five loaves and two fishes. -by corrinne may
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 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 the trust of a child, he said: "Take my five loaves and two fishes Do with it as You will Isurrender Take my fears, my inhibitions 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 But every single tear I cry is a diamond in His hands And every door that slams in my face, I will offer up in prayer So I'll give You every breath that I have Oh Lord, You can work miracles All You need is my "Amen"
So, take my five loaves and two fishes Do with it as You will I surrender Take my fears, my inhibitions All my burdens, my ambitions You can use it all I hope it's not too small
I trust in You, I trust in You
So, take my five loaves and two fishes Do with it as You will I surrender Take my fears, my inhibitions All my burdens, my ambitions You can use it all No gift is too small.
indeed, this song has greatly impacted me. As 2007 marches close to the end, what would be my conclusion for this whole year spent on Earth with God? frankly, many things i realli do feel very limited to.. time. No, i don't want to be emotional. i can jus go on rattling about my limitations and weaknesses, how much i think i'm so far from my goal for God. However, i pray that God will help me to look to Him for He is a God of possibilities. with all that i have now, my five loaves and two fishes, Lord pls make it a miracle.. use me as a vessel of Your love.
-in His magnificant name, Amen.
