Let the Faith Stay Alive

E-veryday man is in peril, 
D-evil is like a roaring lion; 
G-od's servant must prepare, 
A-nd continue to move on.
R-unning out of time, 
D-evil deceives man at will; 
O-pen our hearts to God to have the Holy Spirit's seal.

N-ever blink in foe's front, 
E-nemy has various tricks; 
G-od's truth is our sword
A-s used by Jews and Greeks.
D-efy the opponent's lure, an inducement to pleasure; 
O-pen our minds to God, turning down the devil's pressure.

M-an is always at risk, 
E-verywhere and anytine; 
D-ay two October morn
E-arnestly leave dirt and grime.
N-ight and day the servant
I-s truly urged to survive; 
L-et the battle be won, 
L-et the faith stay
A-live.
