LET US FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT

We may be perplexed.  But to despair we are 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.  In Him, we are not destroyed.
In Him, there is but glory.   In Him, there is true joy.

For the One who raised our Lord, will one day raise us too,
And place us 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 we reach our final end—let us fight the good fight.

[Based on 2 Cor 4:7-15]
