Abba Father,

Do heros ever give up?

Fight their last fight?

Put in a public appearance

So it appears all is right?

Do ordinary people give up?

Even those who believe in You?

Who keep on praying and

Keep on believing in what You do?

Do circumstances defeat?

Make success simply impossible?

After a while does life

Beat us down, make defeat acceptable?

You and I know it’s true

But that’s not where it ends.

For Your Spirit in our hearts survives

Faint perhaps but it will win.
