Fight For Righteousness


Blessed be the LORD my strength, 
which teacheth my hands to war, 
and my fingers to fight:
Ps. 144:1


Thank you, LORD!
Thank you, LORD!

I want to thank you 
for teaching my hands 
to war against evil

Thank you, LORD!
Thank you, LORD!

I want to thank you 
for teaching my fingers
to fight for righteousness

Thank you, LORD!
Thank you, LORD!

I want to thank you
for teaching my heart 
to be not fearful of the battle 

Thank you, LORD!
Thank you, LORD!

I want to thank you
for teaching my soul
to not fret, or be afraid of death

Thank you, LORD!
Thank you, LORD!

I want to thank you
for letting me be a Calvary student;
learning to cross enemy lines,  cold foxholes in the dust

Thank you, LORD!
Thank you, LORD!

I want to thank you
for being my shield and buckler
Teaching me that only in you, I should ever armor trust

Thank you, LORD!
Thank you, LORD!

I want to thank you
for teaching me to be a do-good soldier
in the daily battle of Armageddon: the wicked vs the just

The strongest armour to wear in battle. It is here already and ramping up. Everyone will need to wear it, if they wish to survive in one way or another, whatever beliefs are in the prophecy. Faithful and courageous write R, as always. L
