Fighting the good fight

"Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." Romans 12:21

It's black, so black around me

This darkness makes me cold

I'm feeling my way onwards

But find nothing to hold.

There's evil, pure evil around me

Which tries to scare my soul

It's making loads of noises

And pushing me to fall.

I am quiet, quiet within me

I know the noise is fake

He's always been a liar

Always will be a snake

There's trust, trust in my spirit

That You will not let go

In spite of lies and noises

I still know what I know!

I'm smiling, smiling dear Father

Through noises, cold and lies

They think blackness will blind me

But You're light to my eyes.

I'll follow, follow my way onwards

And fight them till the end

I'll fight evil with goodness

And that is how I'll stand.

Jews call it "Tikkun Olam"= repairing/healing the world. Christians call it "Fighting the good fight and showing grace". I call it NOT LIVING IN VAIN.
