Fight The Good Fight

What must we pursue?

Righteousness, godliness, faith,

love, patience, steadfastness,

and gentleness

We must fight,

the good fight,

but not just the good fight -

the good fight of faith.

We must lay hold,

of our eternal glory.

Still, why do we do it?

Remember when,

we made the good confession,

that Jesus Christ,

is the lord and savior?

Remember the joy we had?

Yet sometimes,

as we grow,

that blaze in our hearts,

turns into a candle.

We sometimes feel unappreciated.

"Who cares what I am doing",

we may ask.

"No one understands me",

we may say,

but we must fight,

the good fight of faith.

We must keep the faith.

That fire of faith,

may sometimes turn into a candle,

but we cannot let it burn out.

Fight the good fight,

and with Christ in your corner,

I swear you will win.

Lay hold of,

the eternal glory.

Know that the good fight,

is not in vain.

When it is all over,

your prize will be in Heaven.

If we do not fight,

then who are we?

That is what,

I do not understand.

We will not win every battle,

and we must know,

when to say when,

but when the fight is done,

we will have victory in him.
