IN TIMES LIKE THESE WE OFTEN HEAR IT SAID ROUND AND ABOUT
I’M TIRED OF THIS OLE WORLD AND I JUST CAN’T WAIT TO GET OUT
YET IN THE MIST OF LIFE’S TRIAL’S AND TRIBULATION’S SEEN ALL AROUND
MIRICLES ARE TO BE HAD, BEAUTY AND KINDNESS ARE STILL TO BE FOUND
PAINFUL CRYS ABOUND AS A LOVED ONE PASSES THROUGH THIS WORLD
TEARS OF JOY GLISTEN HEARING A NEWBORN’S CRY SETTING HEARTS A WHIRL
FEAR IN THE LONELY NIGHT WHEN ALL HUMANITY VANISHES WITHOUT A TRACE
COURAGE RENEWED AT DAWN UPON FINDING FRIEND AND FAMILY FACE
ANGER AND HATRED FOUND ABIDING IN THOSE WHO SHUN GOD’S LIGHT
MERCY AND GRACE HAND IN HAND EVER WALK TOGETHER DAY AND NIGHT
SEEKING THOSE THAT ARE TIRED AND TRODDEN, WEARY AND WORN BY LIFE
THE HOLY SPIRIT BECKONS US TO ABIDE IN HIS WINGS AND TAKE FLIGHT
FOR THIS WORLD CAN NOT HOLD THOSE LIVING IN JESUS CHRIST
ONCE PRISIONED TO THIS WORLD WITH NO HOPE TO WIN THE FIGHT
WE CLAIM HIS PROMISES BELIEVING HIS WORD WITH ALL OUR MIGHT
SOLDIER’S IN THE LORD’S ARMY, THE CROSS EVER HELD IN VISION’S SIGHT
THY WORD OUR MEAT, BREAD, AND WATER BY WHICH WE ARE FEED
RENEWING OUR SPIRIT, REFRESHING THE SOUL, QUICKENING OUR STEAD
FORGIVENESS OF SIN BRINGING PEACE IN THE MIST OF LIFE’S STORM’S ALL AROUND
GRACE AND MERCY SURROUNDS OUR BEING, WHERE ONCE SIN ONLY WAS FOUND.
LOVING MY GOD, THE GREAT I AM, FOR HE FIRST LOVED ME WITH ALL OF HIS MIGHT
EVEN GIVING HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON TO A WORLD HE KNEW WOULD TAKE HIS LIFE
I’LL FIGHT WITH EVERYTHNG THAT IS IN ME, TILL ONE DAY I WEAR MY ROBE OF WHITE
HAVING THE TIME OF MY LIFE ON THIS EARTH, KNOWING IT IS GOD’S BATTLE I FIGHT
