That I should pray and not give up
The Bible made it plain
But when problems seemed too great
I often just complained
Till as I sat alone one day
A sparrow hopped right down
With just one leg he seemed so odd
As he ate the crumbs he’d found
Then when he had finished lunch
He started up to sing
And when the breeze began to blow
He lifted up His wings!
One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up.
Luke 18:1 NLT

Till Journey’s EndOur part is to wait by faith
His is to restore
To us is given to believe
In Christ our risen Lord
Our part is to hope each day
And His the Spirit send
Our part is to run the race
His to keep
Till journey’s end

He Couldn’t Stay on the Cross
After the crown of thorns
And they ripped the robe off His back
And after the hammer and nails
When the lightening came down with a crack
While the life blood of Jesus poured out
From the wound where they pierced His side
The crowd stood around looking up at His face
Then Mary bowed in her grief as she cried
And by the law He couldn't stay after sunset
He must be buried by the end of the day
So - Joseph of Arimathea
Begged Pilate to take Him away
He couldn’t stay on the cross after nightfall
He must be laid in the dark of the tomb
Till He rose with the breath of the Spirit
When the angel would roll back the stone!
And Joseph bought a linen shroud and taking him down, wrapped him in the linen shroud and laid him in a tomb that had been cut out of the rock. And he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb.Mark 15:42-46ESVHe Couldn't Stay on the Cross by Peter Caligiuri
