The wicked one would twist and pervert;
Ours is to resist, run, and stay alert.
We stay on course by means of the Force
That Spirit Whom He has sent
By His grace to take the place
Of the Savior Who saved the race
From all its wanton disgrace.
He rebukes, woos, and guides
As we resolve each day to decide
To keep those loins well girded,
Not by the world driven and herded.
He comes to us from day to day
To keep us on the narrow way.
Ours is to die and live for Him,
To shun and run from wanton whim.
He’s ever ready to scold and uphold
And strengthen us that we be bold
To preach and teach and live the way
That leads others to a brighter day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
