TWO LITTLE FISHES AND FIVE LOAVES OF BREAD


Sister Rosetta Tharp



A crowd of people
Went out in the desert
To listen to what the good Lord said
All day long they heard the good Lord’s word
And they got hungry and had to be fed 
On only two little fishes 
And five loaves of bread

The Lord’s disciples
Began to get worried
And he took them out
to scratch his head
But what could he do
‘cause each one knew
There was a big crowd 
That had to be fed
with only two little fishes 
And five loaves of bread

The good Lord stood up
And told his disciples
To bring him the loaves 
of bread instead
Bring the fishes by
And let him try
A little idea he had in his head
About those two little fishes 
And five loaves of bread

He broke the bread up
And also the fishes
And then his disciples
Went ahead
But the more passed round
The more they found
With lots left over
When all had been fed

On only two little fishes 
And five loaves of bread
Hear what I said
If we all helped one another
Then the world would be fed
On only two little fishes 
And five loaves of bread
