Standing Firm Amid Hostility
Looking beyond ourselves, cities
lying in ruin, we inquire.
As hate,
violence, and destruction take place, we
tire.
As boasters, blasphemers, and
the unholy rule, they devour.
Challenging all that’s holy, despisers
of good ravage in power.
Tearing down
pillars of truth, they march to
overpower.
Lovers of pleasure
with forms of godliness, they preach.
Without self-control, they stand
headstrong to reach.
As slanders,
lovers of themselves, self righteously,
they preach.
Traitors and unthankful
to all that’s good, they blaspheme.
Creating whirlwinds of destruction, in
their hearts, they scheme.
Standing in their way, His righteous
ones stand in durability.
Though
perilous times abound, we look to Him
above for ability.
Putting complete
trust in the Christ’s sufficiency, we
personify.
Enduring hardship in
perilous times, we press forward to
exemplify.
His anointing filling,
nothing is too difficult in committing
to rectify.
For such a time as
this, in the Lord’s garments, we clothe.
Putting on gentleness, patience, and
peace, we abound in His love.
In His
wisdom and truth, we boldly proclaim to
those snared.
In humility, correcting
those who oppose, His word, we preach.
Though once snared, they come to their
senses, as we beseech.
