To Wrestle With 

May 20, 2009

Will they who look to the Lord for bread

Be given only a stone instead?

Will they who praise and exalt His name

With shining faces be put to shame?

Will those who trust in a carnal plan

More blessing have than the humble man

Who looks alone to the God of grace

And trusts in Him for a higher place?

Won’t those who proudly a place assume

In shame be moved to a lower room?

But he who sits in the lowest chair

Won’t he be bidden to rise from there?

Shall not the judge of the earth do right

And answer those who in Him delight?

Won’t He fulfill His own word to them

To honor those who will honor Him?

Though none are worthy to thus be blessed,

And I the least among all the rest,

Won’t Jacob’s God still embrace the weak

And give His blessing to those who seek?
