Fight and Defend

The devil's corrupt cohorts Roam like an angry lion; They've wormed their way into the flock, Creating carnal division and dissension. They think they have the license Or freedom to live as they please; Look out! They threaten to upset our faith, For us not to attain lasting peace. The ungodly men sow and strike terror, Twisting the authentic gospel; They replace the pure words of God With wisdom and principles of evil. Stay away from them who use Smooth and persuasive talk; They speak of fine and fancy words To deceive the naive the way they walk. The flatterers' aim is the enemy's work To change the teaching we receive; Those innocent who are fooled Fall victims for they don't believe. The warriors of the Lord though Are always alert and on guard; Ready to face the spiritual terrorists, They do their job well, working hard. Bravely must we fight for the faith, For us not to end up destroyed; Respect and keep the covenant, Contempt for the teaching we must avoid. Remember all the commandments, Listen, receive, love and obey; Imprint them in our heart and mind To be firm and steadfast as we pray. Our goal is not only to fight for the faith But also defend it against the enemy; With God Almighty on our side, We will raise our hands in victory. Fight and defeat our faith's foe, As we wait for the world's nearing end; To emerge winner and gain eternal life, Our faith we must hold and defend.
