Analysis of A Widow Threatened By Creditor
A Widow Threatened By Creditor
-A widow threatened by creditor
-An unpaid debt from the late husband
-Hanging on the widow's neck-thinned
-Worst still and unmindfully noticed
-The vessels of her oil was finished
-A man of God's annoiting rescued
-When she called and they prayed
-And all her fears were quelled
-And her stolen joys returned
-Her jars and vessels were filled
-The mercy of God came so hard
-And the woman had enough to give
-Even unto her neighbours she shared
-And her children were delivered
-From the slavery of paying a father's debt
