Get Somebody Else

7/7/2018

I heard this song during our Camp Meeting this year and it struck a cord with me. How many times do we as Christians expect God to answer our prayers as soon as we pray them and sometimes we expect them to be answered before we even pray them? Then when God asks us to do something we do one of several things:

1. Nothing     2. Ok, but I am doing something else     3. Tell him you would but you do not know how     4. You are too scared to do it     5. OK, you will do it then "forget"     6. OK, but you put it off     7. Yes, Lord. And you do it then

Read this song then search your heart to see how accurate it is for you.

 

Get Somebody Else

The LORD had a job for me; but I had so much to do

I said; “You get somebody else, or wait till I get through.”

I don’t know how the LORD came out; no doubt he got along;

But I felt kind o’ sneakin’ like! I knew I’d done God wrong.

 

1 day I needed the LORD - - - - needed Him right away;

But He never answered me at all, and I could hear Him say

Down in my accusin’ heart: “Child, I’ve got too much to do;

You get somebody else, or wait till I get through.”

 

Now when the LORD has a job for me, I never try to shirk;

I drop what I have on hand and do the LORD’s Good work.

And my affairs can run along or wait till I get through;

Nobody else can do the work that God has marked out for you.
