Need of Thy Grace

by Thomas A. Dooley

Stay by my side, Lord.
Stay by my side.
Stay but a while, Lord,
Let me confide.

Pray for Thy grace, Lord. 
Pray for Thy grace.
Stand in this place, Lord,
In need of grace.

The Curse of Canaan

Scripture Reading: Genesis 4:8-12

Cain was the first person born of Eve and the Bible says that he was cursed of GOD.  Eve, at first, had twin boys, Cain and Abel; two sons but each had different fathers. 

We just read of God’s punishment to Cain of his murder of his brother.  He was cursed; can’t farm so he has to be a fugitive and a vagabond.  So, the first two children born to Eve—one was cursed and the other was dead.  It wasn’t a very good start.

The Bible gives the partial genealogy of Cain in chapter 4:17-24 of the book of Genesis.  The son of Cain was Enoch; Enoch’s son was Irad; Irad’s son was Mehujael; Mehujael’s son was Methusael; and Methusael’s son was Lamech.  Lamech had two wives.  With his wife Adah his sons were Jabal and Jubal; with his other wife Zullah his son was Tubal-cain and his sister was Naamah.  Jabal lived in tents and had cattle.  Jubal was a musician:  a player of the harp and organ.  Tubal-cain was an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron; a metal smith.

None of Cain’s children were farmers; they had to invent other jobs for themselves.  They were dependent on others for their food.

Captain of My Soul

by Thomas A. Dooley

Now my Savior asks of me
to- fish with Him not- in the sea.
"Forgive me Lord, for doubting Thee, 
Now I know just what you want of me. 

Send me forth to cast Thy net,
by Thy fervent wish more- souls to catch"
He rules the land and sky and sea,
and I heard Him say "Come follow me."

*Refrain
Jesus, keep me- in Your hand
Lead me back to the Promised Land.
Be the Captain- of my soul,
always faithful in control.
