He Almost Passed Them ByHe fed five thousand with bread And though five thousand is quite a lot Those with hardened hearts considered it not He healed the sick and spoke the truth Though hardened hearts needed more proof… We can certainly understand why We read in Scripture of how Jesus Almost passed them by. Instead, He chose to take a walk And while His feet were on the sea, He began to talk Holy words reaching into listening ears “Be of good cheer: It is I; be not afraid” Words as a balm … Soothing their troubles and fears. How thankful we are to read of this account Of all that was needed – a tremendous amount For some to finally begin to receive The blessed measure of faith And the prayerful work of Christ In order to humbly believe.
