To Do His Will
As long as the Lord
wants me to do His will,
I have two open ears
and heed His message;
as long as Heaven is my shield,
envious men try to steal my hidden grail...
their menace is a spear that constantly fails...
while faith remains to my advantage!
I could save myself
wear a victor's wreath,
and to denounce my bluff
I'll abandon others,
boast of my selfishness;
watch them cringe their teeth
and lament their defeat...
a dishonor to their crest!
Am I that kind of person
who needs a garrison,
afraid of being invaded
within fortified walls
and imposing towers,
wanting a full victory
more impossible than glory
itself which is perpetuated?
As long as the Lord
wants me to do His will,
nothing I concede
is completely untrue,
all I pursue is utter prudence not embedded
in untruth, discovering a trap set up with skill
by someone seeking revenge
through schemes of failure.
