Feeding The Flock - Mark\'s Gospel (7)

Tune: Duke Street

(\'Fight the good fight\')

Mark 5 v.32-44

******

Jesus met crowd, had compassion

His love, heart, went out to each one

For they were as sheep, no shepherd

Now voice of good Shepherd they heard

 

The day went on, then \'twas evening

The crowd no food did with them bring

But Jesus said, What food, any

Is there, disciples go and see

 

They found out five loaves, two fishes

But how this meet the crowd\'s wishes?

For them to all be fed, this small

Amount, how shall it feed them all?

 

Jesus said for all to sit on grass

Time for provision did not pass

Was not missed, for Jesus did take

The food and blessed it for their sake

 

Then gave to the disciples there

To distribute to each a share

And they did all eat, had enough

Gathered up all the extra stuff

 

Was twelve baskets full, the surplus

All there were fed without a fuss

E\'en over five thousand, they saw

And ate of the Lord\'s gracious store

 

Amazing grace, vast multitude

They did eat, were refreshed, renewed

The Lord\'s glory they saw, rejoiced

His great workings they told and voiced
