Be Strong!
Be Strong!
We are not here to play, to dream, to drift;
We have hard work to do and loads to lift;
Shun not the struggle - face it; it’s God’s gift.
Be strong!
Say not, ‘The days are evil. Who’s to blame?’
And fold the hands and acquiesce - oh, shame!
Stand up, speak out, and bravely, in God’s name.
Be strong!
It matters not how deep entrenched the wrong,
How hard the battle goes, the day how long;
Faint not- fight on! Tomorrow comes the song.
