Put Your Hand to the Plow
08/11/2013
George Poulo
Put your hand to the plow
and don't look back
Remember Lot's wife
what is left behind
leave behind
and press in
look ahead
keep the faith
to the hope
of everlasting life
 
Put your hand to the plow
and don't look back
Remember the Jews in the desert sand
Who would rather
have the riches of Egypt
Than the blessing
Of  faith through trials
To reach the Promised Land
 
Trust God
believe what he says is true
stay the course
persevere
be open to the Spirit
do not waver
like the wind swept sea
and in due time
you will reap a harvest
without effort or force
 
Trials serve to strengthen
the inner man
without them
faith is just a theory
with them we can glory
in the power of God
to overcome
when we are weary
 
So put your hand to the plow
for the victory is certain with God
defeat he won't allow
and we will live forever in the eternal now



Amen
