Seven Eight Nine
You will fall but you can choose to stand back up again
Often missing His Call even more now than then
Even right in front of His Face like you have not a care
In so knowing of such disgrace yet acting as if unaware
You know of His Name yet you take it so light
So often taking your shame and placing it out of sight
Continuing to set aside everything you know to be true
And all of it for your own pride, as if nobody knew
But as I said you will fall, but you need to learn to stand
Why would you risk it all for anything else in this land
Be it drugs, sex, or rock ‘n’ roll
Or any other vice out there
When it comes to your soul, you better be aware
The Lord always forgives, but you have to change your path
For when one recklessly lives soon we will feel God‘s wrath
It doesn’t need to be this way He gave us all a way out
So I’ll just simply pray that He ends this present bout
Ephesians 6:13-14
Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand
