A Grain of Mustard Seed

What is a grain of mustard seed?

Jesus said it's all the faith that we need!

Why is it so hard for so many of us to believe?

Living in a world where so many deceive.

It's no wonder so many are confused,

Men beating women, women beating men and children abused!

Rape, Murder, Thieving and Drugs!

Sin runs rampant as gang rove in hoards of thugs!

TV lets people sin in their own room,

As it feeds the depravities of mankind, facing sure doom!

Music and dance shaking the flesh all about!

Acting the fool as they scream and shout!

Nakedness is out there for all to see!

Totally forgotten the Garden of Eden and God's Tree.

As in the days of Noah, Destruction will surely come.

So many parish, by the evil spirits of beer, wine and rum!

How many friends I've lost to these vile demons the masters of sin!

I anxiously await the Lord, The Bible is True, He's going to win!

Jesus knew all the wickedness that we would face,

Even of our wars, disease and travels into space.

He told us to hope and have faith as of this tiniest of seeds!

He left us his precious Word to fulfill all of our needs!

He said we can move mountains if we would just repent and believe!

Bound in our hearts the cords of faith we all can weave!

Only a grain of mustard seed, that's all it takes.

Even as volcanoes erupt and the earth quakes.

The storms rage and tornadoes blast their fury!

Jesus knew that's why he told us not to worry!

Fret not thyself of evil doers,

Follow them not, wallowing in life's sewers!

Repent and believe the gospel and find life everlasting!

With just that grain of faith, mountains you shall be casting!

Matthew 17:16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
