Try Our Best To Please the Father

Some seek not the Father's will, 
For they don't want to serve Him; 
They rely on their own knowledge
To take only what pleases them.

They turn their ears away from the truth, 
Listening to myths and false stories; 
Ideas or beliefs that are not true
Cause chaos, schism, and miseries. 

One of satan's strategies is gossip, 
The twisted truth turns into slander; 
The devil's corrupt cohorts
Try to persuade the believer.

Always be awake and alert, 
The enemy is prowling around; 
Like a roaring lion, he looks for someone
To swallow, so hold our ground.

We must resist the foe's temptations, 
Getting not stupefied by profit and pleasure; 
Be faithful midst terrible sufferings, 
To attain the promised land in the future.

Don't throw away this trust in the Lord, 
No matter what comes our way; 
Try our best to please the Father, 
Take the crown come Judgment Day.
