A Word From Your Sponsor: Part Two

at this junction in your journey at this pivotal point in your life
you need to hear a word from your Sponsor, the Lord Jesus Christ
so stop and take a moment and find some quiet time
to step away from the noise and chaos that seems to be crowding your mind
it's time to declare a moratorium and seek a calm place
somewhere where the world is not all up in your face
some one on one time with God is what you need to discover
an intimate session so you can recoup and recover

people are always saying something, be it good or bad
don't listen to that idle prattle, just remember the love for Jesus had
you need to hear a word from your Sponsor every now and then
a word from the heavenly Father, your eternal friend

Joshua himself thought he would not be up to the task
afraid that he could not do all that of him God had asked
God told Joshua to be strong and have a courage that is bold
for God does not suffer cowards nor a spirit that will fold
a word from your Sponsor, your spiritual backer
Jehovah Shammah, the battle fighter and demon attacker

for as long as you stay in God and He abides in you
a word from your Sponsor will always see you through
so don't let the world make you cry, don't allow it to steal your joy
stay connected to your Sponsor and let His powers be deployed
a word from your Sponsor, a word from the Lord God
Jehovah Jireh, your provider and protector of your heart
