LANGUISH NOT
“She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD.” Jeremiah 15:9 of the King James Bible
Languish not, oh my soul, in depths of loneliness
Lean on the Lord, welcoming by His love
Leading you toward victorious leaps.
Languish not, oh my heart, along deceit and lies
Learn from God with His truth of light
Liberating you by His vibrant laws.
Languish not, oh my faith, toward failure’s lingering
Listen to the Saviour’s Word, indeed lively
Lifting you up against commitment-lull.
Languish not, oh my devotion, upon care that’s lukewarm
Level-up toward service zeal and reaching-out loftiness
Let Christ lengthen your patience-line.
Languish not, oh my strength, on bed of losses
Loosen up against restless lamentation midst God’s Lamb
Luxuriate with the “Lion of Judah” with divine laugh.
Languish not, oh my spirit, in destitute so lowly
Leave hopelessness and gloom lurking
Look to the Almighty and joyously live.
