Tough

by @SoulSurvivor

The Christian way is hard they say It seems we have no freedom Looking there the walk has cares Which attend serving The Kingdom The path is tough the trail is rough Folks don't want to hear They say, "Your walk don't match your talk!" As they sit drunk on beer. We have to face great lack of grace Even with our own They will shun and when they're done Their hearts are cold as stone. The toughest part of a Christian's walk Is not the strictness of it No smoking, drinking, other stuff Which most will do and love it! The hardest thing that our faith brings Is not the denigration The family's jokes, the scowling folks Who bring humiliation The most that Christians have to face Is not the hours of prayer⏳️ Though it's hard suffering the shards The fragments of despair God, He makes the rocky road As simple as can be We've all heard the living Word If we have eyes to see  👀 But the toughest thing we have to face Is our heart for the lost The dead who speak in emptiness seek Their "wealth" at such a cost! We really care, we are aware That they're an empty shell Their highway is broad, bereft of God And leads them straight to hell! I don't want them to perish! That fate shoud not be theirs! We want to speak so theÿ will seek Jesus will take their cares! I hope the Father uses me To be a one appointed To be the voice which leads their choice So loud it is anointed! Use me Lord! I am a sword Honed for many years! The hour is late! Their help can't wait! They're hurting, full of fear! Please take all the secret sins Which I hold in my heart Then freedom's mine! The love divine ✨️ 💖 I can make a start The power that binds the heart and mind Is what made prophets awed For they could see what soon can be The healing Spirit of God. SøułSurvivør 12/2025
