“CONTINUE THE MARCH’

CONTINUE MARCHING ONWARD NO MATTER
WHAT OBSTACLES ENTER INTO YOUR PATH OF LIFE

GOD IS WATCHING OVER US EVEN AT TIMES
WHEN WE FEEL THAT DUE TO OUR SINS
HE IS NOWHERE NEAR

AT TIMES OUR PRAYERS SEEM TO BOUNCE
OFF THE CEILING AND IT SEEMS THAT OUR LORD
DOESTN’T HEAR US

SATAN WOULD RATHER WE BOW IN SHAME
NOT FOGIVING OURSELVES AS GOD DOES

SATAN WANTS TO REMIND US OF HOW
TERRIBLE AND UNWORTHY WE ARE
TO BE FORGIVEN AND THEREFORE
OFT TIMES WE CANNOT FEEL GOD’S MERCY

BUT WHEN WE STOP AND REALIZE WE HAVE
A NEW DAY A NEW CHANCE TO BETTER THAT
WHICH WE DID NOT ACCOMPLISH YESTERDAY
WE ARE REMINDED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT
THAT THERE IS RENEWED HOPE AND THAT
GOD’S MERCY NEVER ONCE CEASED

JUST AS THE ROSE BUDS WAIT BENEATH
THE SNOW FOR SPRINGTIME TO ARRIVE
AND JUST LIKE THE BARE TREES
WHOSE LEAVES HAVE CRUMPLED AND
DIED FALLING TO THE GROUND
SOON NEW SPROUTS BUD OUT
FROM THAT WHICH APPEARED LIFELESS

CONTINUE YOUR MARCH TOWARDS OUR LORD
TURN NEITHER LEFT NOR RIGHT
JUST KEEP YOUR EYES UPON THE
LORD WHO RENEWS THAT WHICH SEEMED
DEAD AND LIFELESS
