So Many To Feed
When Jesus with friends found a retreat
the crowds followed on, him seeking to meet.
With so great a need
and so many to feed,
“Where can we find food for them all to eat?”
“There's a boy with five loaves and two fish,”
said Andrew, “hardly enough to nourish
a crowd that's so large,
but you are in charge.”
Loaves and fish Jesus blessed with a flourish.
With five thousand seated there on the ground
he shared out the food and all did astound,
for each had enough
without feeling stuffed.
All then claimed, “Here is a prophet profound.”
John 6.1-14
