Handful of Humanity

"There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth" (Psalm 72:16).

They really didn't look like much;
A handful of humanity.
The world wouldn't honor such,
But God used them triumphantly.

They turned the world upside down!
Who would have ever guessed
That God would turn this world around
By those His Spirit blessed.

That handful of disciples sown
Who in the earth took root,
By whom the Gospel was made known,
Continues to bear fruit.

So may we flourish in our day,
Though handfuls still are spurned,
And bear much fruit as we obey,
Until Christ has returned.
