 It left me very concerned
 That my house and all I own
 Would be gone 
 
 
 I prayed and I prayed
 I petitioned our Lord
 For the money needed
 To save my lot 
 
 
 I had just about given up
 Resigned myself to "whatever"
 When the money I so needed
 Came through on the 11th hour 
 
 
 I can't take credit for my heroics
 I felt quite helpless in my woes
 I knew I couldn't pay the piper
 And foreclosure was drawing close 
 
 
 I had no choice but to stop
 To stop hoping and let it go
 It was the 11th hour
 There was little hope 
 
 
 Sometimes we have to hit bottom
 To fully see and understand
 That our hopes are only realized
 Through HIS hand 
 
 
 Nothing we do or say
 Will add quality to our life
 Except accepting Jesus
 And God's will...Amen 
 
 
 He brought me out of my crisis
 At the last minute...the 11th hour
 He taught me a valuable lesson
 A house I should not covet 
 
 
 Covet His love
 Covet His wisdom
 Covet all He has to give
 He brings life
 He brings peace
 He will provide 
 
 Psalms 50:10
 "For every beast of the forest
 is mine (God's) and the cattle
 upon a thousand hills."
