Hold on

                                                     

Hold on to what is pure and true

Although the world is enticing you

With pleasures that come and go

And embrace its fickle norms too

Hold on to commitment and fidelity

To keep your vows and responsibility

Betrayal results in shame and agony

In broken relationships and misery

Hold on to faith, hope and charity

To courage amidst the adversity

Although life’s road may not be easy

A positive view will lead to victory

Let go of conceit, pride and vanity

Of skepticism, anger and negativity

If you sow seeds of kindness today

You will reap good fruits in bounty

Let go of crippling fear and anxiety

They are toxic to health and vitality

The Lord offers peace and serenity

His presence amidst uncertainty

Let go of greed, deceit and envy

Cultivate gratitude and generosity

Our wealth isn’t measured by money

But knowing God is our sufficiency
