Stand My Posts

I stand at my post, ready for battle My focus is on my surroundings, a good officer is familiar with their surrounding. This may extreme, because few people are ready for battle. It’s hard to win the battles in life, if we are closed off to what’s around us. When we approach life and are unprepared for what’s ahead of us When our focus is on the wrong things, we are busy looking to the right and the left. We allow our victories to go right out the door Maybe I’m too deep with all this, maybe I’ve lost my focus And maybe people are not dying in the streets. Maybe crime is not a new high, and maybe things are not out of hand And yet I remain at my post, ready for battle No false sense of security for me, I know where my help comes from, the LORD. When the days get dark, and darkness is all around us I look up, I look up, I win the battle because it’s not my power or strength My help comes from the LORD So I invite you come stand at your post, the battle has already begun
