The War Is On! Poem by Michael Hunter

There's not a thing that I can do
But watch you in distress and tears.
I'm trying hard, you know it's true,
To put at rest your doubts and fears.

I have no job, and things look black,
Our hopes and dreams seem all stalled out,
But I'm not done! No looking back!
The war is on, begin the charge complete the rout!

There's lots of fight left deep in me!
The world's never seen my type of fire!
I'll see us through, you watch and see!
Things need not seem so dark and dire!

A plan is set by God above,
And I'm but just a lowly actor,
We'll make it through, I swear, my love!
This need not be our end's disaster!

I'll do the things to get us by,
You watch, this won't spell the end of days!
The darkened clouds will leave the sky,
And we'll once again see bright sun rays!

I'm sorry, dear - I've brought us here
I wish things could be safe and sure,
But there's no room for doubt or fear,
When trusting God with vision pure.

We'll fight together, you and I;
We'll stand and see this trial through.
And side by side we'll more than try;
We'll win this fight! No less will do!

So wipe the tears from 'neath your eyes,
And take my hand and stand with me!
It's not so bad, don't buy those lies!
We'll win the day, just trust in me!
