1 Crowds followed Yesu to the hills,
his deeds they did recall.
At evening Yesu asked his friends,
"How can we feed them all?"
2 "These loaves and fish are all we have,
enough for just a few.
So send them off to beg or buy,
there's nothing we can do."
3 Bur Yesu so arranged the crowds
that everyone took part.
He shared with them God's way of love
and opened every heart.
4 By miracle there was enough,
the food for all was there,
when Yesu bound them all as one,
and taught them how to share.
5 We're all to blame that many starve
and more are left to die.
In Christ we're called to heal the world
and hungry satisfy.
6 With Yesu's lead, we'll learn to share,
and build our world anew.
Its wealth and food will be for all,
and not or just a few.
