BATTLE CRY!<\/p>\n

Don’t be a conduit, of the Devil’s noise,
\nBeware of his devices, and his dirty toys.
\nStand strong, be a bearer of God’s Light,
\nReprove firmly, the children of the night.<\/p>\n

Speak God’s truth, share it at all cost,
\nOpen the eyes, of the blind and the lost.
\nMarch forward, in the power of His might,
\nTo the enemy, we must take our holy fight.<\/p>\n

Don’t back down, for God is on our side,
\nLo darkness, won’t have any place to hide.
\nSo even though, the world is full of sin,
\nIn the end, God’s Word will surely win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
