Great things



For God, we must attempt to do things so great,
Not by strength or character, let God keep us straight.

Against all odds in the worlds eye or their mind,
God's favor defies it all and our victory He does bind.

Do something significant with strength from the Lord,
Defeat lives challenges, through His unbreakable cord.

Persevere, do not give up, victory is given by God alone,
When we bind with Him, He conquers all things we moan.

Defend your position by the promises of God,
Stand, faint not, over the Gospel oath is His rod.

Loyalty to our fathers for all in which He doth stand, Giving His only begotten-Son, for us a life in Beulah land,

Take this challenges and be sold out to Jesus Christ,
Your eternity is worth more than any man made price.
