Since birth, I’ve lived this side of town
In Christ I’ve tried my best
The thought I’ve let my neighbour down
Sends pain throughout my breast
To all I spread the true report
Pour out Salvation’s wine
I live my life as Jesus taught
His Light I love to shine
It seems so hard, to make them see
To soften someone’s heart
Could be to blame, alone is me
From Christ, they have no part
They don’t believe a word I say
As if the truth were strange
The devil has them walking dead
But God can make them change
It’s such a shame when people die
Without the Father’s Son
What truth can break the devil’s lie?
That victory can be won?
In Christ I’ll never cry defeat
God’s banner’s flying high
I’ll fight the foe until he’s beat
Or know the reason why?
Without Salvation’s healing kiss
Without God’s guiding hand
The boat of life they’ll surely miss
Bound for the Promised Land
Yet in The Lord I’ll still persist
I’ll break the devil’s chain
If then my neighbours still resist
I’ll try and try again…
