In Such a Time As This

In such a time as this
You need not be,
You need not be courageous to stand on your own.
You need not be ashamed of the man,
The man who is your attorney.
In such a time as this,
You need not give up,
For its been long of you trying,
Trying to persevere.
In such a time as this,
You need not withstand the war,
It's not yours afterall.

But, But,
In such a time as this
When signs of the times are everywhere, 
Seek the Lord while he still may be found.
Choose ye and your house who  you will worship
Like Joshua in days of old.
BE glad when they say to you,
'Let us go to the house of the Lord.'
In such a time as this, 
When a great storm arises,
So that your boat is already filling,
BE like the twelve and call upon the Maser.
Not in a manner of terror like them,
But in a manner of hope and faith.
