From John 15:4-5: “Abide in me as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing.”

Sometimes in life, failure knocking
Darkest times, odds stacked against us
God always, ready and able
His greatness, witness Glory’s plus
Heaven’s Father never ceases
Life’s moments of weakness erased
God always, ready and able
Strengthened, with His sweetest foretaste
Abraham’s Sarah, doubts the Lord
Blessing comes with birth of a boy
God always, ready and able
His covenant, flowing with joy
Hebrew slaves hunger for freedom
Moses feels uncertain, with fear
God always, ready and able
Israel now freed, while He steers
Toiling and sweating in darkness
Accomplish little on our own
God always, ready and able
His hope and peace, faith’s firm backbone
Coming to the Lord, trusting Him
Follow His path, at life’s crossroads
God always, ready and able
Willing to lift burdensome loads

From Matthew 11:28-30: “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
The repetition of the third lines is quite powerful! 🌟
