BELIEVE and LIVE!
Don’t let the buzzards and vultures
Fly circling above your head
For they are waiting and watching
For you to drop dead
They don’t want you to live
They are hoping you won’t survive
But, keep pressing on and don’t quit
Say, “I will live and not die!”
Life is hard in so many different ways
Things can really get so tough
Challenges, difficulties, test and trials
Sometimes you want to say, “Enough!”
When you have tried and tried so hard
With all of your strength and might
Yet, things don’t turn out like you want
You still must continue to fight!
Some people may want you to give up
Because they hope you will fail
They don’t want you to press on
Persevere, succeed and excel
Don’t let the buzzards and vultures
Circle around your head
Don’t allow their evil thoughts
Interfere with what the Holy Bible said
God has given you His angels
To keep you so you won’t fall
They are there to protect you
God will send them when you call
The buzzards and vultures
Want you to always fear
They don’t want you to believe
That God is standing near
Ignore what they are trying to do
Reject their schemes and plans
Stand firm in faith and know
You are in God’s almighty hands
Although you may stumble
Along life’s journey and way
God will provide for you
No matter what others say
Life may look miserable and down
And filled with loads of problems too
Just be assured and stay strong
God has great blessings for you
Don’t allow fearful thoughts
And worries to circle over your head
They’re like those buzzards and vultures
That wants you to fail and fall dead
They will play with your thoughts
And depress your very mind
Trying to control your destiny
So leave them far behind
Look up and see Jesus
For He will bring you out
He is your help and strength
Don’t continue to fear and doubt
Those buzzards and vultures
Never will devour you as dead meat
You’re covered in the Blood of Jesus!
Satan isn’t above,
He’s under your feet!
