Our bodies their food

The story deeper
with meaning for our time
for we are the barley loaves
the fishes that day

Raised up by the Savior
by our teacher that day
blessed and broken for them
food for their spirits

Our bodies their food
for the multitude gathered
hungry for God’s word
for eternal life

We are the barley loaves
the meager fare, the fishes
offered up to God
broken for the people
