WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Ascending toward triumph-pinnacles We tread circumspectly along life’s race Optimizing God’s wondrous love and grace Overcoming temptation tentacles. Trekking upward mountainous faith-venture We're replenished fully midst fatigue-bouts To vanquish distracting doubts’ whereabouts And prevail beyond weariness’ torture. Pressing forward by Sovereign guidance Defying fall and frustrations’ anguish Serenely, we hope never to languish While reaching others with care’s abundance. Marching onward though sorely afflicted Doing what’s right is still our best insight Pursuing to walk by faith, not by sight Pleasing the Lord Who has us protected. Pushing backward the awful negatives We step ahead, bouncing with revival Persevering for work-fruits’ arrival As admonished with service directives. Setting sideward personal interest We seek first our Master and His kingdom* Blessed with heavenly, servants’ heart-wisdom We** spread Gospel, granting souls’ genuine rest. *Matthew 6:33 “…seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness…” **My spiritual response to the lyrics of "With You and I" of The Dead Daisies, with Glenn Hughes.
