BE STEADFAST TO SAY NEVER
Be steadfast to say never midst uncertainty
Hope radiates persistence against infirmity
Propelled to conquer fear-gripped immobility
Upheld by resilience of freedom's security.
Be steadfast to say never in walking along the light
Abide in truth against deceitfulness' blight
Seek divine help along prayer-plight
Then reach-out, sharing love's delight.
Be steadfast to say never with goodness-assurance
Claim divine leading midst kindness' perseverance
Be courageous, braced along faith’s endurance
While testifying about mercy’s forbearance.
Be steadfast to say never as peace, continually share
Be a blessing to others with concern and care
Declare triumph of genuine freedom-dare
In enjoying victory of heavenly welfare.
Be steadfast to say never despite seemingly bleak future
Have faith in God* with His compassion’s gesture
Cheering others toward grace-pasture
Persistent to rise up for triumphant stature.
*Romans 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
