"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? Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid" (John 11:39-41).
Hear again what Jesus said:
Simply "Take away stone."
He did not say to raise the dead;
He would do that all alone.
As objections then were raised,
We might also have our say.
Thus when Jesus should be praised,
We might talk but not obey.
When did faith begin to fail?
Where did power slip away?
Why can we no more prevail?
What should we now do today?
Let the stone no longer stand
That Jesus said to take away.
Obedience to His command
Will bring revival in our day.
