UNYIELDING HONOR Weakness invites moral plight, war and aggression Encouraged by mistrust, misjudgment and delay. All we love can be destroyed and transformed By the powers of darkness maneuvering our way. When something wicked stares us in the face To corrupt our morals, faith and resolve. God gives us courage to defend what’s right No matter the sacrifice or danger involved. Evil seeks to destroy the good in man And silence the memory of God’s law. It’s up to the faithful to stay unyielding Defending the liberty and justice of all. Our men and woman who serve in harm’s way Are the armor of what the free world depends on. Without their sacrifice of body and soul All that we stand for is gone. Honor, morality, faith and integrity Are the glue which holds society in place. Pornography, hate, jealousy and greed Cause man to be plagued by disgrace. Night and day we’re informed by headlines Which seem to give evil added time. Always at war killing one another In our world full of valance and crime. Be thankful for the upright among us Who desire to obey God’s laws. Repentant when wrong they change their ways Serving the rest of us despite our flaws. Honor, morality, faith and integrity Are what life’s heroes are made of. Defending what’s right; confronting what’s wrong Propelled by achievement, and love. By Tom Zart |

So very true, Tom. Following Christ is a constant trial and our society is fraught with lures to distract us. I love the last lines, especially. ___________________________________________ Honor, morality, faith and integrity Are what life’s heroes are made of. Defending what’s right; confronting what’s wrong Propelled by achievement, and love. ____________________________________________ Rae |
