He wasn't looking for a handout,
Lord, but a job."
:55:06
"Make me as one of the hired
servants," That's what he said.
:55:10
That's all he asked.
:55:12
And that's our prayer
as we stand before You today.
:55:16
Not a handout, Lord...
:55:18
... but a job...
:55:19
... and a second chance.
:55:22
It says to us in the 14th chapter
of the book of Job...
:55:25
... these holy words:
:55:27
"For there is hope for a tree,
if it be cut down...
:55:30
... that it will sprout again...
:55:32
... and that its tender shoots
will not cease...
:55:35
... though its roots may
grow old in the earth...
:55:39
... and its stump may die
in the ground.
:55:42
Yet at the scent of water...
:55:45
... it will bud and bring forth
branches like a plant."
:55:50
Lord...
:55:52
... we don't ask for much.
:55:54
Maybe water is something
we no longer deserve.
:55:57
We ask instead from You...
:55:59
... just the scent.
:56:01
The scent...
:56:03
... of Your living water.
:56:05
Thank You for listening, Lord. Amen.
