| (An example of our cooperation |
| in God's miracles.) |
| |
| What if the mother had been too busy |
| To prepare her lad a lunch that day |
| And instead of the loaves and fishes |
| Had empty-handed sent him away? |
| |
| What if the Master had been too weary |
| To speak to the crowds that day |
| And, with His disciples, wanting to rest |
| Had urged them to go away. |
| |
| What if a child had whimpered and said, |
| "I will not give my lunch away" |
| And had selfishly turned aside |
| To eat it alone that day? |
| |
| What if, after the food had been blessed |
| And the disciples commanded to pass it that
day |
| They had grumbled over whom they would serve |
| And from whom they would shy away? |
| |
| And thus we know we must be willing |
| As we journey on from day to day |
| To humbly obey the Lord's commands |
| If we would live the Christ-filled way. |
