Stay the Course

Some young people live for pleasure,
Not knowing it can be tainted treasure.
Beware; the pleasure for a moment
Some times it brings forever of torment.

That does not mean life is to be boring,
That we walk around asleep and snoring.
Life is to be lived to the full with care,
That it may be long in the love we share.

Adventure comes with the breaking of day,
As steadfast we walk in the truth and way.
It is never an easy life this journey of ours,
We are to draw from our source for powers.

We run the good race as we stand strong,
Never surrendering to the world of wrong.
We have God’s own truth on which we rely,
Trusting in His loving promises, least we die.

Even to death we will stand strong and true,
Knowing His love is promised to me and you.
Walking with Him there is never a doubt,
Where ever He leads He will lead us out.

We are His, bought and paid for on the cross,
We’re His children and He will not suffer loss.
In Him our lives are lived and the victory won,
This is the loving promise of God’s own Son.
