Onward To Victory

When I became,

a new creature in Christ,

I laid my burden,

down at the cross.

I had picked up,

my sword and my shield,

and had prepared for battle.

I had been fighting,

ever since then.

So far I have been,

in numerous campaigns,

in this war,

that has been,

going on for millenniums.

Yet I will say,

it will last approximately,

seventy-five years for me.

I cannot say for sure.

What I can say however,

is that someday,

this war will end.

Many who have,

fought for Christ,

has died.

Some battles were lost,

but we shall,

overcome the enemy.

When the final,

battle happens,

we who believe in Christ,

will emerge victorious.

For us it seems,

as though it is,

a never ending war.

Like every war,

this one has had,

it's casualties,

and it's share of destruction.

Still, after every battle,

after every campaign,

after every fight,

win or lost,

we must pray,

that the Lord renews our strength,

and mounts up,

our wings like eagles,

so that we may cry out -

Onward To Victory!
