One Loaf in the Boat

Mark · Future Garage

[Verse 1 - three days in the wilderness] I have compassion on the multitude; They have now been with me three days and have nothing to eat. If I send them fasting to their homes, They will faint by the way. [Chorus - seven loaves] Seven loaves were blessed and broken, A few small fishes were set before them. Four thousand ate and were filled; Seven baskets of fragments remained. [Interlude - across the water] He entered the ship and came to Dalmanutha. The Pharisees sought a sign from heaven. [Verse 2 - one loaf] Take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees And of the leaven of Herod. The disciples reasoned, We have no bread; One loaf lay with them in the boat. [Refrain - remember the baskets] When five loaves fed five thousand, how many baskets? Twelve. When seven fed four thousand, how many baskets? Seven. Having eyes, see ye not? Having ears, hear ye not? [Outro - the question] Do ye not remember? How is it that ye do not understand?
