Bottom of the Barrel-The Collingsworth Family

Bottom of the Barrel - The Collingsworth Family Written by：Phill Collingsworth/Sr The story is told by a prophet of old About a woman lost her will to go on She began to prepare their last meal with despair Feeling sorry for herself and her son When suddenly without warning there appeared in her mourning A prophet whose instructions change her life If she prepared his meal first let her faith stand the worse She'd experience a miracle just in time For when your barrel is empty God sends an elijah When the oil runs dry He's just started his plan Just go to the door throw open your cupboard Stand back and let the miracles sink in What once was dry now's overflowing And the barrel is full once again Now if you're like this lady and you've given up on life I have some advice just for you You see our god is still in the miracle business He knows your situation is quite blue And when you feel your faith scrape The bottom of your barrel And there seems no reason to press on It's when god's storehouse of supply Breaks open from on high And your barrel's overflowing once again For when your barrel is empty God sends an elijah When the oil runs dry He's just started his plan Just go to the door throw open your cupboard Stand back and let the miracles begin What once was dry now's overflowing And the barrel is full once again What once was dry now is overflowing And the barrel is full The barrel is full once again Again Once again
