The Lord's Soldier

C-alled as soldier of the Lord, O-n duty twenty-four-seven; L-acking not for faith and love, L-osing not hope for God in heaven. E-arnest to extol the Almighty, G-iving top importance to Him; E-ven though there are trials, he still praises His holy name. O-ft times he's in spiritual war, conquering the enemy's lair; F-ocused to win over the evil tricks, exposing false tenets in the air. E-nemies of faith in resilience, V-icious lies in threatening stance; A-rmed though with the sword of truth, N-ever shall foes go the distance. G-od's soldier is well-disciplined, E-xemplary in managing time; L-etting not the hour be wasted I-n obeying His will so sublime. C-all of duty is utmost priority, A-ccepting no other endeavor; L-abor in the field of the Lord is his noble task and fervor. M-an of highest integrity, I-ncorruptible in words and in mind; N-o deed done in dishonesty, I-n morality he's so inclined. S-oldier of the Lord is firm, T-hinking not of material things; R-emaining to be brave and loyal, Y-earning to gain eternal blessings.

BFA, This is truly an outstanding poem. Strange, but BFA also stands for Brunswick Family Assistance here where I live. JTH
