Put It In The Hands Of Jesus
(John 6:1-14)
A long time ago back in Bible time the One we call the Son of God was on a mountainside, and he talked about God, he talked about love, and the people who listened couldn't get enough. The day rolled along and it began to get dark, and the people back then didn't drive any cars; it was time to go home but their homes were too far; the Master said people you stay where you are, and
(Chorus)
Whatever you got, a little or a lot
You gotta put it in the hands of Jesus (repeat)
Now the 12 said Jesus what are we gonna do? There's over 5,000 people and we got no food. You better send them away before we have a bad scene, but the Master said well you can give them what they need. The Bible doesn't tell us what went on in their heads, but they were learning to do whatever Jesus said, particularly when he seemed to make no sense, so they found a little boy with some fish and bread, and
(Chorus)
Well now they probably thought well this will never go around -- I mean what are 2 fish among such a crowd? But whatever they thought they didn't think it too loud, the Master said go and make the people sit down. And he took the bread and fish and he began to pray -- gave thanks to the one who feeds us every day, then he gave the bread and fish to the people there, and they were more than satisfied with the meal they shared...
(Chorus)
Now if you're looking for a message in the words I say, some kind of moral to the story you can take away, well there's no end to meaning in a story so rich, but I'll give you one and it goes like this. Whoever you are, you may be big or small, you may be living in a shack or in the Taj Mahal, you take whatever you got and in the Savior's hands, it's more than enough to carry out the plan, because a little in the hands of the God of all is bigger than big, and taller than tall, so whenever you find yourself against the odds, you got to give the situation to the Son of God...
(Chorus)
