ALWAYS ENOUGH
(Elijah and the Widow)
I Kings 17.8-16
Once there was a widow who lived with her son
In the land of Zarephath where it'd been years since rain had come.
The fields were dried up, so no crops could grow
The families were getting worried 'cause they had nowhere else to go.
Their cupboards were so bare and they were so hungry,
They thought they would die.
God sent the prophet Elijah to Zarephath to visit the widow
So he followed the path to her door.
He said, "Bring me a vessel of water that I may drink.
And please bring me a tasty morsel of bread that I may eat.
She said, "Our cupboards are so bare and we are so hungry,
I think we might die."
Elijah said, "Do not be afraid, Friend, For you are in God's hand.
Go and do as I have said and make me a little bread.
There will be enough. You'll always have enough.
With God there is always enough. With God there is always enough."
So, when you're feeling doubtful or just a little afraid
If your heart is empty, or maybe you're just having a bad day.
God is loving you.
When you feel afraid, Friend, remember you're in God's hands.
Life with faith as I have said, even when you do not understand.
With God there's enough. With God there's enough.
Oh, with God there is always enough.
