Still You Have One Left!

Wherefore fear

your grip to loosen?

Let God’s prophet first be fed.

If God’s caring for your living

Why concerned when source is spent?

Every day

new needs appearing

Are supplied that day anew;

Since you are His dear creation

Won’t you let Him plan for you?

Still You need to love more

give more;

There’s one portion still with thee.

All your loving

all your giving

Lets God double for your need.

Trust! His timing’s always perfect;

Not too fast

but ne’er behind;

Trust! The bottle and the barrel

Though no excess

ne’er run dry.

E’en if lily lack apparel

If small bird no food can find

Yet the widow’s meager barrel

Still has adequate supply.

Why be anxious for tomorrow?

Just rejoice for what you have.

Why tomorrow’s worry borrow?

Have you not one portion left?

Love is life; to give

yet having;

More is sown

more harvested;

When it seems all is exhausted

Lo! You’ve still one portion left!
