about

This is a musical interpretation of the miracle of the feeding of 4,000 families as told in the good news of Mark, chapter 8: 1-10.
The disciples asked, "How can we feed these people with bread in the desert? Jesus asked them, "How many loaves do you have?"
With 7 loaves of bread and a few small fish 4,000 families were well fed! Let's keep this miracle going in small and large ways!

lyrics

Everybody’s leaving town, people lining up and down, a very large crowd!
Everybody’s on the hill, three days and waiting still.
People have nothing to eat.
Have you seen their eyes will you calm their feet?
Have compassion large, four thousand still they’re in your charge!

It’s such a long way back home, if they start walking today, they will collapse on the way.
It’s such a long way back home, if they start walking today, they will collapse on the way back home.

How can we feed these families?
With bread in the desert, strength if you need
How many loaves do you have? Four thousand still there in your hand!

Calling out to the crowd, sit down rest on the ground.
Great thanks for fish and loaves, now take a break and feed and clothe!

It’s not such a long way back home, if they start walking today, life I give for the way!
Not such a long way back home, if they start walking today, life I give for the way back home.
