JUST A FEW STEPS MORE<\/p>\n

When you’re in the midst of battle,
\nAnd all your defenses seem so weak,
\nWhen your cage Satan does rattle,
\nAnd to your mind his lies speak,<\/p>\n

Don’t just run for the back door,
\nOr faint right there on the floor,
\nGet quiet, listen to the dear Lord,
\nHe’ll say “Just a few steps more.”<\/p>\n

You’re so close to a great victory,
\nDevil’s defeated, oh don’t you see,
\nYou can win your crown so easily,
\nIf you just take a few steps more<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
