Gideon's Army... Poem by Denis Martindale

Today, there is a multitude... an army on the move...
With prayers not as an interlude... but that things might improve...
For there's a battle for Man's soul... like none on Earth before...
A constant striving for control... the searching for each flaw...
Attacks from creatures dark and foul... with burdens to dismay...
For these are demons on the prowl... our joy to steal away...
But we still pray... with hands held high... Oh, Lord, let good prevail...
Yes, we still pray... for God's supply... because we must not fail...
While there is love, while there is breath... while life on Earth persists...
Behold... Jesus of Nazareth... and His evangelists!

For we are here, God's multitude... His army to the end...
If that is true and would include the Saviour as your friend...
For centuries the saints have lived... their legacy lives on...
And so will ours... with love our gift... until we, too, have gone...
Keep pushing, like God wants us to... Keep pushing, pilgrims, still...
Keep pushing, till God blesses you... because He always will...
We serve a Saviour strong to save... we serve the King of Kings...
Death could not hold Him in the grave... for He salvation brings...
Eternal life! Eternal love! And yet despite rewards...
Each saint knows this... it is enough... to serve the Lord of Lords...
