Five Loaves and Two FishesCorrinne 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 to 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
I surrender
Take my fears and 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 that you need is my "Amen"
Take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as you will
I surrender
Take my fears and 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
Take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as you will
I surrender
Take my fears and inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all
no gift is too small

All I have are 5 little loaves and 2 little fishes. Sometimes I really look at myself and wonder whether what I have done would mean anything or have any effect. I'm so small and insignificant. Who don't want to be some body yeah? Who don't want to have power, influence, wealth and charisma? Who am I? The things that I do, have done, are they off any importance?
I'm impatient; sometimes I want things to happen fast, I want to see results right away. God is good, He always puts me through waiting time. Just what I needed. Needless to say, I hate waiting time. The waiting period is so hard to pass; yet when it's over.. it's victory sweet.
God, You know what I'm thinking and what I'm asking for. But let those that I ask be in Your will and not mine. Let You come first! If the things I want is coming before You, I would rather You take it away.
"Seek His Kingdom and His righteousness first. And all that shall be added unto you"
