A time as this...

It’s for now that I’m placed here,

It’s for this that I was born-

So don’t mourn,

Or look forlorn,

You may be torn

But remember the promises sworn

 That for you a child IS born

Not was because his purpose remains,

By going through hurt and pain,

His body maimed,

His will drained

Not for fortune or fame

But for us HE took the blame

And for that purpose, he became OUR purpose;

Giving us direction_the greatest compass,

Guards our every step, enemy: do not trespass

When it gets hard, weep,

When in doubt, his promises keep,

When you’re wounded, bleed,

And when weak, lead.

But NEVER give in,

Don’t conform to sin,

Keep Christ within

Because we’re next of kin

To the King of Kings.

So when trials begin,

Don’t take it on the chin,

For with purpose you’re either out or in,

But for purpose you’ll always win.
