Plenty Given and Forgiven In the Divine Realm

Stand for your beliefs Despite tribulations and blues Worry not about physical, psychological or metabolic reliefs But defend to the hilt the values Defining, refining and buttressing your personality and character From infancy to adulthood Where values and beliefs are a factor In enhancing the attitude, habitude and altitude You deserve and preserve in the rat race Characterised by confusion, contusion, corruption, compromise That deface, efface, demean, displace, denigrate the value and belief face For the sake of access to a temporary prize Fleeting in value and bleating in worth Glittering in the short term, debilitating in the long term That snatches, scratches, slashes and slays the ultimate berth and mirth You deserve to stand firm, confirm and reconfirm The cardinal role values and beliefs play In leading your life to the destination Meant for you without undue delay As you march determinedly to the station Destined to reward principle Perseverance , persistence and sagacity As the pupil and disciple whose scruples quadruple In worth when you galumph in triumph to your salvation city To earn at the end of your race the reward For which you’ve striven Despite suffering stabs from pricks of a compromise sword Cos in God’s eyes plenty you’ve given and plenty you’re forgiven.
