Save Yourself
The average man, a doomed decline
On weakened heart, the devil dines
One must stand and regain accord
As can be done; put trust in the Lord
Let not your hands, so idle be
As devil then controls, you see
You must be active; share the word
Let your voice rejoice, be heard
When you do slumber; eyes then closed
Trust the Lord again, for He truly knows
He will be there upon attack
For as you sleep He has your back
So when you rise, give thanks and praise
That to the sunshine, you have raised
Enter the day then, with light and ground
To know that He will still be around
