Don'T Be Conquered By the World

Don't let the fire get to you;
Don't let it burn you down.
Don't let this system stumble you
and don't stay on the ground.
Don't let a sad and broken world
collapse beneath your feet.
Jehovah's path will never fail;
Your joy will be complete.

Don't let a bitter, hateful world
bring despair to your soul.
Like men of faith who won the race,
we must maintain control.
Don't let a gate, nor bar, nor wall
restrict your hopeful eyes.
Keep enduring through them all
and you will win the prize.

No remark or circumstance
can take your life, my friend—
Peaceful everlasting life
obtained at the very end.

It's a pleasure to meet you as well! Thank you so much for your response! I am a student of the Bible, so this particular verse quotes the principles from Romans 8:38, 39 and John 17:3 from the Bible. These verses contain a warm promise that nothing will be able to prevent us from receiving God's love and living a long time if we are faithful.
