FIGHT! <\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

We say we believe in Jesus,
\nWe asked Him into our heart,
\nYet we often go astray,
\nAnd wander so far apart.<\/p>\n

Ungodly things entice us,
\nAs the world draws us away,
\nDoing things we should not,
\nIt is a battle every day.<\/p>\n

We seem to lose our fire,
\nAnd into a rut we fall,
\nOur motivation is lacking,
\nWe no longer obey His call.<\/p>\n

Our flesh versus the Spirit,
\nOur mind fights sin within,
\nOld man versus the new man,
\nGod’s Grace helps us to win.<\/p>\n

It is a never-ending war,
\nBut to win it you must fight,
\nThere is no vacation for you,
\nSo battle with all your might.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
