If I give it up what they earn?
would end the battle? I'd be really happy?
No! The door will not close or cease the battle
Why would God have another standing on the Rock.
If I spring.
If I'd spring?
Seeking refuge from the heat? You'll forget the cry of the lost?
I would be happy for a bit 'and then hit the ground
and spend my time praying for something to do
saying, "Lord why did I drop."
If I spring that I would say to the Lord who called me?
What I would say to our brothers who have sent me?
What I would say to the pagans who confidently expected
to show them the way?
What I would say the thrust of the Holy Spirit daily?
No Sir! I can not give up.
If I had to bow out is that when I die
not while alive, not when I am persecuted,
not when I am humbled
but please Lord, let the day moller
for me when I die.
