Be Meek
Meekness is not weakness
It’s the joy in having power
To exercise some self-control
Until the proper hour
To be watchful and be ready
As you see the day approaching
And not to go and run ahead
But listen to your coaching
A warrior cannot be strong
If he fights with a sword
But everyone who wants to win
Must first obey the Word
Then at the proper time
A fire will come from his mouth
To burn up all his enemies
Who want to snuff him out
And when he’s done his work
Which God has given him to do
The beast will come and kill him
But his life will be renewed
His church will be His witnesses
As all the world rebels
And they will live in heaven
And the rest will go to hell
