Crowds followed Yesu

Author: Tom Colvin Hymnal: LUW1997 #10 (1997) First Line: Crowds followed Yesu to the hills Lyrics: 1 Crowds followed Yesu to the hills, his deeds they did recall. At evening Yesu asked his friends, "How can we feed them all?" 2 "These loaves and fish are all we have, enough for just a few. So send them off to beg or buy, there's nothing we can do." 3 Bur Yesu so arranged the crowds that everyone took part. He shared with them God's way of love and opened every heart. 4 By miracle there was enough, the food for all was there, when Yesu bound them all as one, and taught them how to share. 5 We're all to blame that many starve and more are left to die. In Christ we're called to heal the world and hungry satisfy. 6 With Yesu's lead, we'll learn to share, and build our world anew. Its wealth and food will be for all, and not or just a few.
