Five Loaves and Two Fishes.

Recently I bought a CD, titled "Beautiful Seed" by Corrinne May. In case you are unaware, Corrinne May is a Singaporean singer/song-writer based in the US who is making critics all over the world sit up with her gentle, soulful voice.

She's also Catholic and unafraid to sing about her faith. This particular song, Five Loaves and Two Fishes, caught my attention. The lyrics tell a story and behind the story lies a message that no matter who you, how small your gift to God might be, God will use it to feed His people.

Enjoy.



EDIT:
I figured out the chords to this wonderful song as I couldn't find it anywhere, so you can offer up your five loaves and four fishes to God in the form of a song!

Five Loaves and Four Fishes
by Corrinne May

C G
A little boy of thirteen was on his way to school
Am F
He heard a crowd of people laughing and he went to take a look
C G
Thousands were listening to the stories of one man
Am F
He spoke with such wisdom, even the kids could understand


Dm C
The hours passed so quickly, the day turned to night
Fm G
Everyone was hungry but there was no food in sight


C G
The boy looked in his lunchbox at the little that he had
Am Fm
He wasn't sure what good it'd do, there were thousands to be fed


F
But he saw the twinkling eyes of Jesus
C
The kindness in His smile
F
And the boy cried out
C G
With the trust of a child



He said:
D G
"Take my five loaves and two fishes
D A Bm
Do with it as you will
A G A
I surrender
D G
Take my fears and my inhibitions
D A Bm
All my burdens, my ambitions
A G A D
You can use it all to feed them all"


C G
I often think about that boy when I'm feeling small
Am F
And I worry that the work I do means nothing at all
C G
But every single tear I cry is a diamond in His hands
Am F
And every door that slams in my face, I will offer up in prayer


F C
So I'll give you every breath that I have
F C
Oh Lord, you can work miracles
F C G
All that you need is my "Amen"


D G
So take my five loaves and two fishes
D A Bm
Do with it as you will
A G A
I surrender
D G
Take my fears and my inhibitions
D A Bm
All my burdens, my ambitions
A G A D
You can use it all I hope it's not too smalll"


F G D
I trust in you
F G A
I trust in you


D G
Take my five loaves and two fishes
D A Bm
Do with it as you will
A G A
I surrender
D G
Take my fears and my inhibitions
D A Bm
All my burdens, my ambitions
A G D A Bm
You can use it all
A D
No gift is too small.
