I Fight The Good Fight

I fight the good fight,

Everyday

Some days I don’t fight as well as others

But I still fight.

What am I fighting?

The sin in my heart, the darkness in my soul,

The constant attacks from the evil one who wants me

The evil one wants to destroy me.

Because I know he wants to destroy me,

I have strength

Because the One that has me wants me to have life

Because He is life

I love life, I hate death and darkness.

I fight to keep life and hold on to love.

I fight to hold on to faith and hope.

Hope is critical, hope is necessary, with out hope,

We fall.

I don’t want to fall, I don’t want to fail

So I fight.

Everyday, all day long

Sometimes I fight well,

Sometimes I don’t do so well,

But I fight,

I always fight,

I always fight for hope and faith and love,

And I never give up, not completely

Because I don’t want to lose

I like life, I love life

And I love the one who gave me life.

He lives in me and gives me strength

And hope

And love

And He keeps me fighting

So because of Him

I fight the good fight,

Everyday
