Lyrics as Poetry
For the crowd of thousands
sitting on the ground,
seven is sufficient,
seven will go round.
Seven is sufficient,
fish and loaves of bread,
Jesus, for our hunger,
gives us life instead.
Jesus makes his offer:
fish and bread as food.
Make us truly thankful,
make our living good.
Seven is sufficient,
fish and loaves of bread,
Jesus, for our hunger,
gives us life instead.
If we give to Jesus
bread to bless and break,
five and two will feed us
seven days a week.
Seven is sufficient,
fish and loaves of bread,
Jesus, for our hunger,
gives us life instead.
What we give to Jesus,
and with others share,
will at last be gathered:
‘over and to spare’!
