Both the kings and the poor.

As the goodness of God they saw

For l came to restore.

Which others cannot ignore.

Ended up on your death bed.

On God he could depend upon.

To supply all that he did need.

King and those that feel so small.

What it was all about.

This seeming everlasting drought

That we all might see Gods will

For it was shown even then.

The failure of the leading men.

Lk. 12:1-12

Lk. 11:45-54

You think you know it all.

But you are in for a fall.

Criticising those before.

Yet you now have come to ignore.

The flaws in your own heart.

Of the men of your days.

Even though being told.

Your sin took a hold.

Refusing to come to know.

You will be brought low.

For his glorious kingdom

To be a servant of him.
