Loaves

In reading Francis Frangipane's book, "The Days of His Presence," I was reminded in chapter four (You Give Them Something to Eat) of a poem I wrote back in 2007, titled "Loaves." I hope you enjoy.
Loaves

The Lord had fed the multitude

With His words, as Son of God.

Three days He shared His heart

With all who came.

His compassion was now turned

To their needs, as Son of Man.

“I will feed them bread of life

From my own hands.”

“How can you?” came the cry

From those who could not see,

His intent to be carried out

Through them.

He asked them now to give,

“How many loaves have ye?”

And with just seven, fed four thousand,

met their needs.

And so He comes to us this day

His compassion has not changed

A hungry world awaits

The Savior’s grace.

“How can we?” is our cry

“By My Spirit,” His reply

You are the loaves I’ll use

To feed the world today.

“Because I take, I bless, I break,

I give that all might live,

And taste the goodness of the Lord

In you.

The multitudes are fed,

As your hearts and lives are led,

By My Spirit”, says the Lord

I’m using you.”
