Fish and Loaves

My talents and my strengths are like
Some fish, and loaves of bread
And when I see this whole wide world
That’s desperate to be fed

I wonder what my food can do
To satisfy such need
My fish and loaves of bread are few
How many can they feed?

But when I open up my hands
Yeshua comes and takes
The meager loaves and fish I have
He blesses and He breaks

I wonder what He’ll do with them
And then, when He is done
He calls and tells me to disperse
The food to everyone

I do as He commanded me
I give the food, and then
With shock I look around and see
It fed five thousand men

And thus Yeshua multiplies
My strengths and talents, and
I share His boundless blessings with
The needy of the land

Great! We often think we have nothing to give but we belong to Him who has everything to give!!
