And

And to love your God.
and to stoke the flame,
and to sleep at night,
dreaming of a new name

And to walk by faith,
and to despise your sight,
and to spend a life trying to do what's right.

And to sink to knees,
and to bow to pray,
and to pour your heart into every word you say.

And to rise back up,
and to stand refreshed,
and to smile, knowing He watches every breadth.

And to face the world,
and to feel no fear,
and to wake each day with conscience that is clear.

And to shout for joy,
and to sing in praise,
and to know He's pleased with every note you raise

And to read His Word,
and to imbibe His light,
and to know you've been armed for every fight.

And to breath your last,
and to face the end,
and to know through His grace you'll stand again.

And to be with God,
and to pass gates of pearl,
and to be with Him who has overcome the world.
