Stopping 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? Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus.... cried with a loud voice, Lazarus come forth. And he that was dead came forth" (John 11:39-44).

There is a lesson here for us
We see within the stone
That sealed the grave of Lazarus
That God would teach His own.

Jesus said to take away
The stone that hid the dead.
Simple faith should just obey
And do what Jesus said.

He did not tell them to reprove
Or argue with their story,
He simply told them to remove
That stone to see His glory.

And once they did that simple task
That faith would have them do,
Above all they could think or ask
Came forth into their view!

Is there a stone that God demands
You take now from your heart?
Do that which your Lord commands;
He'll do the harder part!
