Live as citizens who reflect,
On the Gospel of Jesus Christ;
Let your manner never reject,
The worth of being sacrificed.
Whether I come or stay away,
I will be hearing all about;
For I am not one that will stray,
Or ever will I shed a doubt.
I will hear if you firmly stand,
Being united in the fight;
And not bowing to a demand,
In deviating from the light.
Be united in the Spirit,
For the faith that the Good News brings;
Remembering you inherit,
Unto your salvation that clings.
So do not let your enemy,
Attempt to intimidate you;
By saying it is blasphemy,
Nor political correct view.
This is God's way of showing them,
That they will truly be destroyed;
Rather than saved He will condemn,
To the lake of fire deployed.
God has given you the privilege,
Not only to believe in Christ;
But decide what is sacrilege,
Where the deceiver has enticed.
Know how to suffer for the Lord,
Learning to suffer for His sake;
And to remain in one accord,
Sincerely suffer never fake.
You are involved in the same strife,
In what you saw that He has had;
And I too have involved my life,
But the struggles have made me glad.
