Fight And Defend Poem by Bernard F. Asuncion

The devil's corrupt cohorts
Roam like an angry lion;
They've wormed their way into the flock,
Creating carnal division and dissension.

They think they have the license
Or freedom to live as they please;
Look out! They threaten to upset our faith,
For us not to attain lasting peace.

The ungodly men sow and strike terror,
Twisting the authentic gospel;
They replace the pure words of God
With wisdom and principles of evil.

Stay away from them who use
Smooth and persuasive talk;
They speak of fine and fancy words
To deceive the naive the way they walk.

The flatterers' aim is the enemy's work
To change the teaching we receive;
Those innocent who are fooled
Fall victims for they don't believe.

The warriors of the Lord though
Are always alert and on guard;
Ready to face the spiritual terrorists,
They do their job well, working hard.

Bravely must we fight for the faith,
For us not to end up destroyed;
Respect and keep the covenant,
Contempt for the teaching we must avoid.

Remember all the commandments,
Listen, receive, love and obey;
Imprint them in our heart and mind
To be firm and steadfast as we pray.

Our goal is not only to fight for the faith
But also defend it against the enemy;
With God Almighty on our side,
We will raise our hands in victory.

Fight and defeat our faith's foe,
As we wait for the world's nearing end;
To emerge winner and gain eternal life,
Our faith we must hold and defend.
