      Take Up Your Weapons Of Warfare

"I set before you, weapons of warfare,
that each Christian should take and wear.
Your enemy is watching your every move,
trying to find an opening he can enter through.
So daily take up your cross, and follow Me,
for that is the only way you can be free.

Do not look to the left or look to the right,
but look directly at Me, and stay in My light.
Watch where you go and watch what you say,
because your enemy has laid many traps along the way.

You are a child of God, with power in your hand,
so don't be afraid to speak out and take a stand.
The day is very late and the laborers or few,
and I am depending and counting on you.
Set aside the pleasure; set aside all the fun;
catch a vision of what work needs to be done.

Join in the fight, you've been sidelined enough,
Sharpen your sword; make your muscles tough.
For the battle rages on both near and far,
But the victory is ours, in the end-time war."
