The Lord's Ladder Poem by Greg Oosterhouse

Your faith in the Lord, keep it strong.

Hold fast to Him all your days,
Give Him all of your blessings and praise.

Let His light always shine from you,
So that all people can see that He is true.
Never let it go out all your life through.

Spread His love from place to place,
Let people see it on your face.
Spread it like an infectious disease.
Until of hate, there be no trace.

Sing to the Lord a song of thanks,
For putting on His children no ranks.
All are equal to His eyes,
So look to the skies and lift your hands!
With your heart, make music as if from marching bands!

In times of happiness, give Him praise.
In times of trouble, bring Him your plea.
He will be watching over you always.
Never from your side will He flee.
For He is like a loyal friend,
His grace, mercy and love have no end.

Watch out for the enemy's attack,
He comes in the guise of a friend.
See just how their 'good' attributes stack,
Then away from you, them do send.
Be wary of tricks and works similar to the Lord's.
Believe not their teachings against what you know,
For such as they will be cast down by the true and everlasting Word!
