RUN WITHOUT SHAME <\/p>\n

In this age of political correctness,
\nIt can be difficult running our race,
\nAt times when hecklers approach us,
\nWe back down so we can save face.<\/p>\n

But this kind of shameful behavior,
\nIs so very disappointing to the Lord,
\nHe prefers that we just stand firmly,
\nAnd poke the enemy with our Sword.<\/p>\n

Yes, we must still stay very humble,
\nBut to Satan we must give no place,
\nSo we must defend our faith boldly,
\nAnd ask God to bestow us His Grace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
