Not Of The World

Light will dispel the darkness, but, the dark can smother your light,
Without the Lord’s Righteousness, when a walk with Him isn’t right.
For what fellowship can there be, when given new vision and sight,
Within Christ’s plan for eternity, with our light and the dark of night?

We’re here to live in the world, as we live each day for Jesus Christ,
As the Gospel we are to herald, while living for Him a separated life.
Of the world, we’re not to be, if we have been bought by His Blood,
Only passing through to Eternity, while we focus on our Lord above.

By our Lord we have been set apart, to live this life on earth for Him,
From old ways we need to depart, less we fall, when tempted by sin.
Evil company can mar our walk, when it corrupts our good character,
Tainted by men’s evil ways and talk, our witness shall begin to falter.

This world has nothing at all to add, to the spiritual life of a Believer,
And it’s only upsetting and sad, as he’s lead astray by the deceiver.
Satan, wanting to sift us like wheat, and so causes that one to stray,
Only to hand him over to defeat, tempting them to that broader way.

Satan always blurs right and wrong, scoffing at the spiritually meek,
Causing one who may be strong, to instead be one spiritually weak.
For the world is never our friend, being run by the worst of our foes,
Wanting nothing less than our end, while filling our hearts with woes.

He's coming very soon, the signs are very clear,
And when that trumpet sounds, we’ll be otta here!
Waiting in Him with Great Expectation,  Bob Gott
