We may be perplexed.  But to despair, not driven.

We can be but thankful for all we have been given.

Persecution comes our way. Yet we are not abandoned.

By the One who loves us so—our Defender and Companion.

Our trials we endure.   We conquer by God’s power.

Struck down we may find ourselves. But from there we flower.

In Him there’s no destruction.  Ane we are not destroyed.

In Him, there’s only glory.   In Him, there is true joy.

Just as our Lord rose from the dead, one day we will rise too.

Be placed in His presence.  All things will be made new.

Let us persevere for Him. Let us now soldier on.

Let us fight the fight before us.  His armor, let us don.

Until that day of glory, when all is truth and light.

Until our final end arrives—let us fight the good fight.
