Count Bass D [A Reading From] lyrics

Y'all not ready. But Grits asked that that I read something for...

You know, read something 'fore the come on here, so...

Just listen, please. A servant of God must stand so...

So very much alone that he never realises he is alone.

In the early stages of Christian life disappointments will come,

People who used to be lights will flicker out,

And those who used to stand with us will turn away.

We have to get so used to it that we will not even realise we are standing alone.

Paul said, "No one stood with me, but all forsook me...

But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me.

"We must build our faith, not on fading lights, but on the light that never fails.

When important individuals go away we are sad until we see that they are meant to go.

'Til there's only one thing left for us to do: to look at the face of God for ourselves - Grits
