This is a sweet retelling of the loaves and fishes parable, told from the perspective of one who "witnessed in awe". A timeless message that reminds us we are never sent away without God's blessings.

Lyrics

Don’t Send the People Away
Music and Lyrics by Rebecca Minor

What a day full of healing,
The lame leapt, the blind saw,
Jesus beheld with compassion.
Each of us there who witnessed in awe,
Then the dusk descended and cooled the air.
He wanted to feed us who followed him there.

The twelve said, “Master this vast multitude
Cannot be fed with such limited food.”
Despite their disquiet they heard Jesus say,

“Don’t send the people away,
Don’t send the people away.”

I was just a child and yet
What happened I’ll never forget,
There were five thousand mouths to feed
With two fish and some bread.
Rather than scoff at the meager loaf,
Jesus broke it and blessed it instead.

Then the baskets traveled from hand to hand,
An unlikely feast in that desolate land.
When all were filled there was more that remained,
And stories were told of how we were sustained.
And God’s love inspired the courage to say,

Don’t send the people away,
Don’t send the people away,
Don’t send the people.
God cares for his people,
Don’t send the people away.
