Overcome and Adhere

Nancy McDonald 1968 (Blytheville, Arkansas)

Keep yourself in constant check

In all that you do

Don't let the devil

Misinform you

When anger surfaces

Be quick to see

Should something this trivial

Really matter to me

When depression grabs hold

And weakens your mind

Rebuke it in the name of Jesus

And peace you will find

When sickness plagues you

And it's hard to cope

Bring it to the Lord

For in Him there's hope

For with God we will triumph

We will overcome and adhere

God's people will be victorious

Full of contentment and of cheer
