Never Quit the Quest

Today’s skies might just be grey
And uncertainties blur tomorrow’s gain 
Keep your hope alive as you watch and pray
For to quit the quest brings a greater pain

Seek for wisdom to stand each day
For folly is an impediment to godly gain
Make up your mind to stay and never to sway
For to quit the quest soaks one in steady stain

Destiny has allotted you a part to play
Justice must be done in sunshine or rain
Do not bow before the shadows of the shining clay
For to quit the quest will at last cause you eternal pain

Don’t befriend those who tend to stray
Nor in the desert of sin sow your golden grain
Pitch your tent with folks that fear the lord each day 
Never quit the quest , that you may not live in vain.
