I fed the Jews today, oh boy
I had a luncheon planned beside the lake
5,000 Jews around me sat
Well, I just had to laugh
They all forgot to pack
I knew that my lunch didn't count
Some fish and loaves there that my mom had made
A crowd of people should have starved
They needed faith for sure
The only way to feed 'em all
Is if it was the hand of the Lord
I got a thrill today, oh boy
The thing I saw He had not done before
He sat the people down and prayed
And that was all it took
Now it's in the Book
Of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John ...
BREAK
Hold up! We're out of bread!
Send 'em home and back to bed
"Find a way," He said, "You can't give up
And look around for food around the lake."
Found a kid who had some bread
Told the boss. He said, "No sweat."
Had a word of prayer and bread was broke
Had some many loaves there I thought it was a dream
LEAD
He fed the Greeks today, oh boy
4,000 folks just had a banquet here
And though the loaves were rather small
He had no doubts at all
And how they had so many loaves that they were filled
Well, I don't know
I'd love to tell you, but ...
Luke 9:13
He replied, "You give them something to eat." They answered, "We have only five loaves of bread and two fish Ð unless we go and buy food for all this crowd."
