Lift Your Head Instead”



Looking down, can’t count,
all the grains of sand on a beach.
Looking down, can’t count,
all the cracks on a street.
Looking down, can’t count,
all the blades of grass in a field.
Looking down, can’t count,
the number of ants in an ant hill.
Looking down, can’t count,
the puddles of water, the rain has left.
Looking down, makes us, victims of theft.
Lift your head instead, don’t be misled,
truth must be spread.
Yeshua, His blood was shed, so we could lift,
our heads instead.
Come what may & things done for spite,
lift up your head, Yes, in My Might.
Salvation‘s helmet, has kingdom merit,
wearing it we’ll never regret it.
My remnant, you will, face strip in strife.
Lift your heads,  be faithful unto death  & I’ll give you a Crown of life.
