Analysis of 1 Corinthians 10:10



I must try not to grumble,
It shows that faith is weak
And causes one to stumble
When stronger faith I seek.

I must stop all complaining,
Which never helps at all.
It only causes draining
And makes my progress stall.

Instead, I must be praising,
To keep my thoughts from me,
For God is so amazing
With so much love to see!
