Author: Fred Kaan; Willem Barnard Hymnal: Voices United #355 (1996) Meter: 6.5.6.5 Lyrics: 1 For the crowd of thousands
sitting on the ground,
seven is sufficient,
seven will go round.
2 Seven is sufficient,
fish and loaves of bread,
Jesus, for our hunger,
gives us life instead.
3 Jesus makes his offer:
fish and bread as food,
Make us truly thankful,
make our living good.
4 If we give to Jesus
bread to bless and break,
five and two will feed us
seven days a week.
5 What we give to Jesus,
and with others share,
will at last be gathered:
over and to spare! Topics: Jesus Christ Life and Teachings; Hunger; Jesus Christ Life and Ministry; Jesus Christ Miracles; Jesus Christ Teacher/Teachings; Manna, Bread of Life; Rogation; Social Concerns; Thankfulness; Proper 12 Year B Tune Title: ERNSTEIN
