Give Me Strength To Stand Up For You Help me to realize that I'm not my own, Help me to meet You at Your throne, Help me stand strong, and true, and sure, Remove my fear, and help me endure. Make me bold, help me stand up for You, Tell me, Lord, always what to do, Help me believe I'm strong enough To bear the load when things are rough. Grant me perseverance, the lasting kind, And give to me Your peace of mind, Give to me Your holy strength To go that special, extra length. This world, oh Lord, is not improving, So help me, Father, to keep on moving, I must keep moving toward Your love To receive Your help from up above.

Are You Bothering Satan? If Satan's not bothering you it's only because You're not bothering him and that is a pause That shouldn't take place, for we're in a war, A battle to show you just who you are. You are the Lord's, if you have invited Christ Jesus to come to be ever united With your heart, to take over your soul, And give Him your life your only main goal. So bother the Devil, rattle his cage. He'll never stop, but at least you can gauge The limits that God will allow him to go, But never give up, go quickly, yet slow. His path of destruction shows nobody mercy, He knows the Word and makes his foes thirsty For Christ's Living Water, and the life in His Bread, For they'd rather have Him than be spiritually dead.

For Goodness Sake There is a myriad of imperfect tools For Satan's evil, scheming plans, He's gathered them together To reap destruction through our land. He's stirred them up enough to cause Great confusion and division, And caused believers of the Lord To make no firm or fast decision. Maybe we're afraid to fight Although we know that God goes with us, But should we put Him to the test Yes, if we believe "in God we trust." God's anointed people should not be shy, But they should be bold beyond belief, And fight what Satan made his own, To return this land to God's relief. These atrocities are not for us. Those foolish reasons aren't his will, But God will turn the bad to good, He always has; He always will.

You may say, "What can I do? "I'm not equipped to do a thing." But if you can write, if you can talk, You can do a lot for Christ our King. Help campaign for righteous candidates, Send donations, make some calls. Even depressed or "challenged physically," You can still tear down some walls. This will make you feel better, And raise your spirits to new heights, You'll feel you contributed, Especially when we win this fight. There are many things that you can do, So many avenues to take To make our nation strong again, So let's fight, for goodness sake.
