CAN’T KEEP A CHRISTIAN DOWN<\/p>\n

You just can’t keep a Christian down,
\nHe will keep coming right on back,
\nNo vicious words or subtle tricks,
\nWill ever knock him off his track.<\/p>\n

The secret’s not found in him alone,
\nIt’s not that he is such a great man,
\nHis strength, you see, is not his own,
\nIt’s that he holds the Master’s Hand.<\/p>\n

Thus it is, that when he is weak,
\nThe Lord thru him can be so strong,
\nThough troubles come on every side,
\nHe just keeps right on boppin’ along.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
