Go the Distance

A moment comes to call it quits

When Satan deploys his hoards.

When all seems lost as voices ring

Just “hang it up” of course.

When weariness does seep down deep

And bones and muscles ache.

You’ll have to fight the heavenly war

Resisting Satan’s ways.

Gain Thy strength in the secret place

Where Christ does send His power.

And when you rise from Holy prayer

The demons scowl so sour.

For they know now with Him you’ve been

No longer can they win.

For you can now the distance go

On strength He gave within.
