Survival

Please, Lord, leave thishouse untroubled,

We who serve you humblyplead.

Knowing well yourfaithful promise

We shall follow where youlead.

 

Heralds rise to sound thetrumpet,

Blast a warning all mustheed.

Close the door and

Light the candle.

Hearts in faith neednever bleed.

 

Safe within thissanctuary,

You are surely all weneed.

Nothing to bring shameupon us,

No concessions toconcede.

 

Faith denies allpessimism.

Hope springs forward fromher seed.

Onward withdetermination,

One day soon we shall befreed.
