Five Loaves, Two Fish

FIVE LOVES, TWO FISHES [Intro — spoken] Five loaves, two fish— Placed in the hands of Jesus! “Give them something to eat!” Let compassion move our feet! [Verse 1] The sun was sinking; still the people stayed, Hungry on the hillside at the close of day. “Send them away,” the weary voices cried; But Jesus saw their need and drew them to His side. A boy had bread and fish enough for one; He brought his little meal before the Son. What seemed so small within those willing hands Became a feast at Jesus’ command! [Pre-Chorus — drums build] What is in your hand today? Bring it close; don’t turn away. Open hearts and willing feet— Love sees hunger, love brings food to eat! [Chorus — full band and choir] Compassion fed a multitude! Jesus, make our hearts like You! Five loaves, two fish, mercy overflowing— In Your hands, a feast was growing! “Give them something to eat!” Let our faith move hands and feet. What we have, Lord, we will share; Let Your love become our care! [Verse 2] He took the bread and lifted thankful eyes; Then passed it through their hands along the lines. The hungry ate, and every one was fed; His mercy reached them through the broken bread. Twelve baskets held the pieces that remained; “Let nothing go to waste,” the Master said. Teach us to share and treasure what we hold; A neighbour’s life is worth far more than gold. [Pre-Chorus — choir rises] See the need and hear the cry; Let no hungry heart pass by. With the gifts You’ve placed in reach, Make us live the love we preach! [Chorus — soaring] Compassion fed a multitude! Jesus, make our hearts like You! Five loaves, two fish, mercy overflowing— In Your hands, a feast was growing! “Give them something to eat!” Let our faith move hands and feet. What we have, Lord, we will share; Let Your love become our care! [Bridge — quiet, then powerful] A meal prepared, a welcome chair, A burden lifted, someone there. A field well tended, wages fair— Teach us the many ways to care. Beyond the songs and lifted hands, Send us to serve where hunger stands. You see the person, know their name; Let our compassion do the same! [Call and Response — handclaps] What did He see? People in need! What did He say? Give them food to eat! What did they bring? Five loaves, two fish! Who fed the crowd? Jesus did! Open our hearts! Teach us to share! Gather the fragments! Handle with care! [Brief Horn and Guitar Break] [Final Chorus — triumphant] Compassion fed a multitude! Jesus, make our hearts like You! Five loaves, two fish, mercy overflowing— In Your hands, a feast was growing! “Give them something to eat!” Let our faith move hands and feet. What we have, Lord, we will share; Let Your love become our care! [Outro — strong ending] Five loaves, two fish— A feast in Jesus’ hands! Open hearts, willing hands— Let compassion feed our land! Amen!
