Poetry
There are times, because of my own sin, I may experience feelings that the Lord has left me alone.
Then I ask myself, do I really think that I can ask the Lord for bread, and he in turn give me a stone.
Only sin can bring us low, separating us from God's love, the joy of our salvation, seemingly gone.
We must remember, I asked the Lord for bread, and he did not give me a stone.
This truth isn't for an empty professor. For the hypocrite, this most excellent truth will not be shone.
Because, this type has not besought my Lord for bread therefore their heart is like adamant stone.
He that cometh to God must believe that he is, the God I serve will not cast you off, beg him to make you his own.
Just ask the Lord for bread, and you'll see. He'll not mock you by giving you a stone.
As long as I dwell in this vile body, there will be more times, when I feel the Lord is gone.
Draw nigh to God remember you asked the Lord for bread, and that he will not give us a stone.
If we then being evil know how to give good gifts to our children, how much more shall our Heavenly Father give good things to those that ask of him?
He hath already delivered us from the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of his dear son. In whom we also have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins. Look at these gifts already given us by him.
