Faith Like a Mustard Seed

Faith like a mustard seed,
That’s all You ask
Continual praise, 
Even in the midst of a storm
It is all You desire

The courage to say
“Lord I give it all over to you”
is what You are waiting for,

To lift us up,
To take our lives
Into your miracle working hands 

To mend us, 
To mold us,
Into God fearing,
People serving,
Always caring 
Continually praying individuals…

When everything around 
Us is in chaos,
All it takes is 
a mustard seed of faith, 
the willingness to believe
that it is not over till the
battle is won, 
until You say it's done…

I have been doing the readings in my church for the first time in my life this past year. This title was so enticing that I just had to read this. I'm glad that I did. Thank you, Regards, Gerard
