Keep the Faith

You say you will desert your faith and publicly And if the brethren won't stop you you'll lament hysterically That you have one more reason out of their lack of concern Praying that they scatter and never return But Christ is the Head and He will forever preserve a remnant Heed His Will and don't worship for selfish wants For the Father knows that you want these things Lace not your supposed reverence with attached strings In the fullness of time which you see as delay And the lure of the world's pleasure tempts you to stray You'll have been weak for fainting in the day of trouble For circumstance proves your commitment unstable Trouble troubles all but we are to be of good cheer Hard-pressed from all sides hold your faith dear Though you have tarried longer than others Even longer than was required of your forefathers Your path is unique to you purpose and such as is your time To complement other calls that they all together sublime The Psalmist fears not the valley of the shadow of death And so shall you personally know and say in your breath When a way has been made for you when there was none Praises of your God shall come from the witness of your clan Erasing all doubt about enduringly seeking God to the end For there is seen faith they could commend and recommend.
