Wellsprings of Rest
Work of Faith
by Jacob Dunbar
"This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent." (John 6:29)
Faith without works is dead
One body one Spirit He said
Work of the Father
Brother walked on water
One God and shudder
Believe God is your brother
How can that faith save you?
Faith without break through
He gives you bread and clothing
Who’s the one now boasting?
What are these works?
Works that bring perks
Works of the law
These are made of straw
Works of believing
Achieve them by receiving
Knock and He opens
Answers when you’re hoping
Seek and you find
Gives sight to the blind
Ask Him for some bread
Won’t get a stone instead
He gives the Holy Spirit
Spirit we inherit
Holy Spirit of grace
Poured on the human race
Jesus the Messiah
Answer to Jeremiah
Who’s in need of saving?
The one inside behaving
or the one outside prodding
He’s seeking and he’s knocking
By grace saved through faith
The Son of God did sayith
The toil of our Papa
Hold fast to more than allah
Abraham believed in death to life
That’s why he picked up the knife
Rahab received God’s messengers
Afterwards went heavenwards
Trust in God, insufficient
To justify men deficient
Also accept He sent the Son
Available to everyone
Know them by their fruit
Verse used to persecute
Love joy peace
This should be our fleece
Patience kindness goodness
Inside dwells the fullness
Gentleness and faithfulness
But now I will digress
Not concerned with action
Outward satisfaction
But Inward transformation
Not behavioral modification
Father is available
Let your heart be malleable
His love brings the healing
Open up your feelings
His goodness is infinite
His answers are definite
He who did not spare
To make us all His heir
Freely gives us all things
Thanks be to the King of kings
Holding nothing back
In Him we have no lack
Faith so revitalizing
So good no need in compromising
He’s the one works and supplies
Hearing by faith good news comprised
Do not work you do not eat
Another verse used to browbeat
Do not work for bread that perishes
the bread of life now to cherish
eternal bread come from above
On His shoulder like a dove
Listen to the one who bled
His life He gave He is the bread
The work of God is to heed
On His flesh we now feed
Never thirsty, no more hunger
Come inside, cold no longer
They believed in one God
In Him they were even awed
But they rejected God’s answer
The gospel they tried to hamper
