Stubborn Stone

"Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto Him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days. Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?" (John 11:39,40).

The glories that our God reveals
To those who will obey,
The stone of unbelief conceals;
Now take the stone away!

A thousand reasons we may say
The stone must stay in place.
The bottom line: We disobey,
And so we miss God's grace.

We may not have it figured out
Why God commands us so,
But that is no excuse to doubt
What God will wait to show.

Trust in God and God alone,
And do what He has said.
Now take away the stubborn stone
That renders our faith dead.
