I think therefore I am,
Heretofore there has been a fight,
And it’s all about wrong and right,
This is a matter not light,
We were never born to do right,
The battle seems to be tough,
The devil has advanced in playing rough,
His mission is to divide you into half,
Many wars have been lost,
There’s real nothing to boost,
Many are the injuries sustained,
The righteous robes are crimsonly stained,
But the battle goes on,
Everyday; from dusk to dawn,
And it’s more fierce today than yesterday,
But never give up in any way,
Knocked down, times without number, but still getting up
Never to lay down and take a nap,
Life is a battle and a match,
But in all it’s forward we match.
TN3: 8.2 Series page: SCS :
And now that the “time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God…,” “thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ” (2 Tim. 2:3), for “if it [the judgment] first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?” 1 Pet. 4:17.
