When the sun comes up, and when the heat melts the ice,
the devil shows up, dangling the bait; we are quick to open,
loving God, the absence of a price; it sounds so nice,
a pure fantasy, a fairy tale; destined never to happen.
Faith, Hope and Love; combine well, and work smoothly, together,
Faith, without Love; we trot selfishly through the vainglory street,
Love, with no Faith; we can hardly do anything or proceed further,
take Hope out; and we will walk stooping, constantly looking at our feet.
Sometimes a slice of bread, and the butter spreads too thin,
sometimes a castle at the summit, accompanied by mountain peaks,
sense God's manifested presence abiding within,
always take time to quietly, gently listen - He speaks.
Mercy and grace, God, from You, I immediately need,
weak and stumbling, at everyday trouble, You are shield,
my faint cry for help, You are faithful, take heed,
strength arrived, I must focus on You, continually yield.
Watched Benny Hinn and Dhinakaran on a TV talk show,
what a closeness with God, the people who know His heart,
I was touched, I was changed, impacted by them to follow,
may I begin along this road, may I choose not to stop, after I start.
In a time of elections, Jesus reigns - our prayer slogan,
He rules in righteousness, with the scepter in His hand,
truth revealed, faith proclaimed, far from a shenanigan,
no matter which party, He will certainly win, it's His land!
Everyday, I will experience temptation - I can have heaven,
resurrection, and ascension - the prize not be shifted aside,
decision made, temptation endured, crucifixion to occur even,
the pathway through the cross - I persisted in stride.
