Just A Pot Of Oil !.

The widow of a godly man
Sons of the prophet he was
Faced with a situation
Far beyond her ability.

When the creditor called
To Elisha she quickly ran
Desperately she cried for help
Her children,she can't forfeit.

What do you have ,Elisha asked?
For God is never limited
He can use whatever He wills
To execute His perfect will.

Just a pot of oil she cried!
Just a pot of oil she had
For God to turn the tide
And break the hold of poverty.

To me His word proceeds
There's still "a pot" in my life
Locating it is still the task
For with it ;God'll turn the tide.

Make A Difference (IV).

Many many years ago
Upon the walls of Jericho
Dwell Rahab an harlot
Plying her ignoble trade.

Despite her background
Despite her profession
She chose to make a difference
And a difference she made.

Her little act of kindness
Preserved not just two
But her entire household
And generations yet unborn.

Rahab's story didn't end
With just that good deed
But the Messiah of the world
Choose to come through her line.

What God is looking for
Are for men and women
Who'll cast-off all restraint
And make a difference in their age.
