No Gift is too small

This is it. I bought Corrinne May's latest album Beautiful Seed. Been anticipating it for a couple of months!

Some of you might have read the excerpt above which describes the beautiful album. Listen carefully to each piece of lyrics when you hear it.

Am not going to talk about the theme song Beautiful Seed in the album today, but this - Five Loaves and Two Fishes. (which you should be hearing now)

In the past week i had felt small.

I wondered how much i can achieve, how well i can perform.

I told myself i could never match up to this other person.

I wasn't sure how much my work could amount to.




Then like in this song, I lifted up all my fears and inhibitions, burdens and ambitions to Jesus.

And my God reminded me... No gift is too small. =)

Five Loaves and Two Fishes
Corrinne May

A little boy of thirteen
was on his way to school
He heard a crowd of people laughing
and he went to take a look
Thousands were listening
to the stories of one man
He spoke with such wisdom,
even the kids could understand

The hours passed so quickly
the day turned to night
Everyone was hungry
but there was no food in sight
The boy looked in his lunchbox
at the little that he had
He wasn't sure what good it'd do
there were thousands to be fed

But he saw the twinkling eyes of Jesus
the kindness in His smile
and the boy cried out
with the trust of a child
he said:

"Take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as you will
I surrender
Take my fears and inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all
to feed them all"

I often think about that boy
when I'm feeling small
and I worry that the work I do
means nothing at all

But every single tear I cry
is a diamond in His hands
and every door that slams in my face
I will offer up in prayer

So I'll give you every breath that I have
Oh Lord, you can work miracles
All that you need is my "Amen"

Take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as you will
I surrender
Take my fears and inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all
I hope it's not too small

I trust in you
I trust in you

Take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as you will
I surrender
Take my fears and inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all
no gift is too small
