For One Step More

Nina R. Hall

The Lord has oft commanded us to give abundantly,

For it is not our own to have; yet we hoard it selfishly.

It seems my little sacrifice, God really wouldn’t need;

But looking at the harvest field, we see there’s much to reap.

~

And that is when our faith begins; and this self-willed life must end;

Our God has promised to provide, if our knees in prayer shall bend.

In those times of fear, when giving may not come with ease;

Look up to see the smile of God, and know that He is pleased.

~

Living here by Faith is something taken step by step;

Once you’ve learned to trust in God, each step you won’t regret.

And then each time He asks for more than you have ever done before,

The choice is yours to stay the same or trust your God for one step more.
