And The Struggles
Author: Mark V. Markov

You kept your head up
Stood out of the crowd
Spoke about life
What you heard,
Felt and saw

Everywhere you wanted to be known
Yes your words were notorious famous,
In this fallen world you was a star,
You did what you did and you chose,

Compared your hard life to a rose
A rose that grows out from the middle of concrete
Yet you had to be careful
Not to let others step over it with their feet

Maybe in a separate private garden it would have survived
But when left alone in concrete's midst
Like you said before your death
The odds were great
For it to wither and prematurely die,

In this world many would know hardship
And the struggles
The struggles are almost everywhere
For the ordinary ones without faith
It's almost impossible to get into the heavens,

But we need to try always
To remember the mercy of a just Holy God
The fact that pure blood of Christ
Overcomes everything in this
And next life to come,
If we accept Jesus Christ into our hearts
If we only come to Him and ask Him to change our lives

Only He can save us from all our troubles
Through His pardon we can become pure, forever sanctified,
He can relate to prejudice with many problems in our lives
For spending some time in Egypt
Perhaps His Egypt tanned skin
At that time
Was more darker then a Hebrews
Maybe That was another reason why
The priests called Him a Samaritan,

But Jewish He truly was
And after all those miracles
They wanted to stone Him for His words
Yet He was and still is
In many hearts of all the nations
A blessing of Abraham's seed
Jesus Christ is the only hope,
For a fallen Mankind's salvation,

He is the One that we all need to believe
And into our hearts receive,
Through His grace we are forgiven
By His mercy we all become one,

In this world many would know hardship
And the struggles
The struggles are almost everywhere
For the ordinary ones without faith
It's almost impossible to get into the heavens,

But we need to try always
To remember the mercy of a just Holy God
The fact that pure blood of Christ
Overcomes everything in this
And next life to come,
If we accept Jesus Christ into our hearts
If we only come to Him and ask Him to change our lives

He is the One that we all need to believe
And into our hearts receive,
Through His grace we are forgiven
By His mercy we all become one

May the glory forever be
To the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit
A Holy Triune God...
