Kick The "T" Off Can't




Kick The "T" Off Can't*
By George Thurlow

There's a word that should be banished,
From the dictionary be left out.
It's a word of negativity,
Lack of faith and doubt.
 
It's goes against all Scripture.
It's truly unbelief.
It hinders the Holy Spirit's
Power from being released.
 
It's ignorance of God's promises
And reveals there is no trust:
For we can do all things through Jesus
Our Lord Who strengthens us.*
 
It's a word of just four letters
That never should be heard
Coming from a Christian
Who should believe in God's own Word.
 
It's the simple phrase "I can't"
That puts roadblocks in the way;
Keeps one from doing Jesus' will
Each and every day.
 
Whenever we state it can't be done
It shows unfaithfulness.
We must repent upon our knees
And to Jesus Christ confess.
 
For nothing is impossible
If we do not doubt:
For God has promised in His Word
To help His children out.
 
This four letter word, let's now remove
Never to be heard again:
For we are children of the King
And to do all things we can!
 
*Philippians 4:13
"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me".
 
*"Kick the "t" off can't" is a phrase often spoken by my Pastor, Rev. Merle L. Mitchell and was the inspiration behind this poem.
Thanks Pastor!
