Go To the Ant, Thou Sluggard

I carry you when you can walk no more.
I lead you so all you have to do is follow.
I provide for you that you have need of nothing.
Yet; you lack faith in me...

I make your every path accessible with strength.
I guide you down every path you take.
I give you courage and grace enough for each day.
Yet; you fear what tomorrow may bring...

I protect you from harm.
I shield you with my love through every storm.
I stand always with you and never forsake you.
Yet;  you still place trust in man and thyself...

" Go to the ant, thou sluggard! "
For he has faith in what he does not see;
he wavereth not in all that he doeth, he knows
that I will provide.

I love you more than man will ever know.
I am your harbor, you beacon, your light.
I turn you not away when you come at my call.
yet; you reach not for my outstretched hand...

I bore your sins and cast them into the sea of forgetfullness.
I covered you in my she dblood.
I gave myself for you and now you live in me and I in you.
Yet; you waver about with doubts as the wind upon the  sea...

" Got to the ant, thou sluggard! "
For he has faith in what he does not see;
he wavereth not in all that he doeth, he knows
that I will provide!
