Step into the light
And fight the good fight
For the shadow will fall
For each and for all
And for all a dark night
Fight The Good Fight

We politicize everything
That might help make our point.
But if circumstances change
We get our nose out of joint.
It behooves each of us
To always give life our best.
Because our time on earth
Is just a judgment day test.
We all know that cream
Always rises to the top.
That’s where we should be
On the day life will stop.
If we don’t pay attention
To the things that matter.
We’ll rest in the field
Among the tares we helped scatter.
As a vapor, our clock time*
Will quickly be gone.
Only then to be judged
By the seeds we’ve sown.
* James 4:14
says, “Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.”
Fired-up toward stewardship-fervency
fight fiercely the good fight of faith*
fleeing to God's firm empowerment
freed from fatal vain selfishness
filled fully by the Holy Spirit
fueled to serve the Lord
fed thru His Word!
*1Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

We are all occupants of the moment,
Often plagued by apparitions of our past;
God’s calling into account never absents our mind of the guilt,
That permeates our senses leaving us discouraged.
But that doesn’t mean our world will end, only that we’re concerned.
We use the word as a shield against others ricocheting words,
And in prayer we endeavor to touch the face of God,
The only one able to tether the despicable and resplendent;
Anxiety try’s to disrupt life’s floe,
And pleasant thoughts are summoned and sealed inside a box.
But our opening this box is never a good substitute for His tomorrow;
E-arly thirty-first December,
S-aturday sun starts to ascend;
P-ouring rain in the sky
I-s coming to an
E-nd.
E-vening chill is gone,
S-hadows Friday disappear;
P-ain from a broken heart
I-s turning into a cheer.
N-ew dawn has broken,
A-fter the lonely twilight;
L-ive another hard day, and fight the good fight.
Not many people understand
why we strive to fight the good fight
and always stand our ground
and even when things go wrong
we still sing to the Lord
in joyful song,
we try to share him with others
along the way
sharing stories of peace joy and love
every day
How the Lord changes our life
taking away our fears
and helping us through strife
we could never go the journey on our own
for he is the one we can trust and trust him alone
he gave everything for us
he gave his life his peace his love
not many may understand
but we love the Lord
and will shout it across the land
say it by day
dream it by night
we Love God and
will fight the good fight.
let us all stand as one
and sing to the Lord
in joyful song. Amen

thank you
Watch out watch out
There's an enemy within
It came in unaware
Motivated by sin.
Its covered in darkness
Yet seen as a light
This enemy within
Man alone cannot fight.
It wants to control us
And enslave us in sin
But as David killed Goliath
With God we can win.
These powers of darkness
Will challenge our faith
Removing our freedoms
Our forefathers gave.
This enemy within
I warn don't embrace
Lets stand on God's word
And not fall from grace.
Jesus defeated
When He died on the cross
All the powers of darkness
There Satan lost.
Be strong christian friend
And stand in God's light
Trust in your faith
And fight the good fight.
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. People
should say this about you everyday. Not on the day that they put you at your final
resting place. So fight the good fight of faith. This makes the enemy angry and God
stand tall. Fight the fight of faith today. Don't live in fear that is not why God put you
here. Every day we have a course on our life's menu. What does that mean? Well it
is something in that day that God wants us to do. Seek God, pray ready the Word,
and you'll always be ready to fight the good fight of faith. Fighting the fight of faith
start's with you. Do it and in front of your enemies God will truly bless you. Fighting
the good fight of faith is a great ingredient to use to live the life that's true.

I wake up every morning thinking of my life,
Going from happiness with my son, daughter, and my wife,
To losing to it all from my mistakes and stupidity,
But now I have a new vision with the best of clarity.
I'll fight for my son, cuz his daddys #1,
I'll strive for my daughter, cuz shes my golden one.
I'll struggle for my family and only my true friends,
Cuz, theyre the ones who got my back til the end.
And until that time comes, I'ma keep pushing on,
With a head full of knowledge, and a body full of brawn.
With the lord as my protector, and not a plate of teflon,
I will fight the good fight without hiding behind a gun.
I was brought here on a mission, though I dont know the reasons,
And still I dont fall back, but spring forward through the seasons.
Runnin in the great race, gunnin for that 1st place,
Maybe I'll win the trophy and add it to my showcase.
If I could turn back the hands of time, I wouldnt do so,
Because it's my experiences that have helped me grow.
From the lowest lows of darkness, to the highest highs of light,
I promise to all that I'll keep on fighting the good fight.
