Philippians Two Twelve
"...work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,"
meaning, you're alone physically, find a way out;
do all you can humanly, it's all the same thing
yet the Lord is with you, never without.
When faced with such terrible dilemmas
quickly turn to the Lord, for He hears thee;
though the problem faced are all fracas'
I made it through, oh! truly believe me.
Alone, and yet with God by thy side
face must you, all the hungry tides;
there'll be a time, when you're all alone
still prayers said, much like on a phone.
So weary thou may be, faced with abuse
carry on, do not fail or misconstrue;
till the End, when God takes His throne
safe we will be, never alone.
Remember these words that fill the wise
like fish on a grill, with a side of fries;
alone and yet, never alone
the Lord with thee, thine prayers to hone.
Philippians 2:12 (in excerpt) states:
"...work out your own salvation with
fear and trembling."
Amen!
