Upon that verdant grass 

To take a small crumb from that hand 

Which did that basket pass 

Twelve baskets full were left behind 

There should be some for me 

For whom were those baskets saved? 

What other hungered be? 

I want some loaves and fishes Lord 

Break for me a crumb 

Teaching I have had dear Lord 

Loaves and fishes! Give me some! 

Loaves and fishes! Loaves and Fishes! 

Of miracles I read 

I've been learning at thy feet, dear lord 

Loaves and fishes I still need 

A trifling to fill me up 

That is all I ask 

For who that has  five thousand fed 

This seems a paltry task 

Sometimes I feel so frail dear Lord 

When my world turns black 

That loaves and fishes would be enough 

For courage that I lack 

Though barley bread has meagre taste 

And fish gives little more 

I do not need a lot to fill 

My faith desire core 

Show me loaves and fishes Lord 

Twelve baskets you have still 

That for me to take a crumb 

The difference would be nil 

Do I sin to ask a sign 

That you for me care 

When you gave five thousand then 

The same portion spare 

Thy Lamb, Oh Lord, sits and waits 

For the basket's pass 

That I may take and eat my fill 

Ending faithless fast 

Then the Lord with kindness looked 

Upon my pleading eyes 

Wanting so to give me what 

I asked with sorrow sighs 

"The miracle you ask me for 

Seems such a simple thing 

But did you to this lesson now 

Some loaves and fishes bring?"
