Luke 9: 11-17
Late in the afternoon the Twelve came to him and said, “Send the crowd away so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside and find food and lodging, because we are in a remote place here.”
13 He replied, “You give them something to eat.”
They answered, “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all this crowd.” 14 (About five thousand men were there.)
But he said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.” 15 The disciples did so, and everyone sat down. 16 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke them. Then he gave them to the disciples to distribute to the people. 17 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

"Move" by MercyMe
I′m not about to give up
Because I heard you say
There's gonna be brighter days
There′s gonna be brighter days
I won't stop, I'll keep my head up
No, I′m not here to stay
There′s gonna be brighter days
There's gonna be brighter days
I just might bend, but I won′t break
As long as I can see your face
When life won't play along
And right keeps going wrong
And I can′t seem to find my way
I know where I am found
So I won't let it drag me down
No, I′ll keep dancin' anyway
I'm gonna move, move
I′m gonna move, move
I′m gonna move (I'm gonna move)
I′ve got to hold her steady
Keep my head in the game
Everything is about to change
Everything is about to change
This hurt is getting heavy
But I'm not about to cave
Everything is about to change
There′s gonna be brighter days
I just might bend, but I won't break
As long as I can see your face
When life won′t play along
And right keeps going wrong
And I can't seem to find my way
I know where I am found
So I won't let it drag me down
No, I′ll keep dancin′ anyway
(I'm gonna move)
No matter what may come
Gotta move to a different drum
(Gonna move)
No matter what life brings
Gotta move, gotta move to a different beat
No matter what may come
Gotta move to a different drum
No matter what life brings
Gotta move, gotta move to a different beat
I just might bend, but I won′t break
As long as I can see your face
When life won't play along
And right keeps going wrong
And I can′t seem to find my way
I know where I am found
So I won't let it drag me down
Oh, I′ll keep dancin' anyway
When life won't play along
And right keeps going wrong
And I can′t seem to find my way
I know where I am found
So I won′t let it drag me down
Oh, I'll keep dancin′ anyway
(I'm gonna move)
No matter what may come (I′m gonna move)
Gotta move to a different drum
(Gonna move)
No matter what life brings
Gotta move, gotta move to a different beat
