The Obstacles of Life
The Obstacles of Life
By Danny C. Wash
Forward thru the obstacles of life
against the misfortunes we endure,
so our battle cry into the strife
may pierce the resistance as a knife
in hope that our victory is sure.
against the misfortunes we endure,
so our battle cry into the strife
may pierce the resistance as a knife
in hope that our victory is sure.
The enemy is our doubts and fears
of failure and & the resulting pain
but we must embrace the tears
and learn from defeat to hold dear,
as a lesson to possibly lead us to gain.

but we must embrace the tears
and learn from defeat to hold dear,
as a lesson to possibly lead us to gain.
What is the victory we desire?
What is it you want to behold
in your life to withstand the fire,
that will test our work with its ire
And will withstand it like gold.

And will withstand it like gold.
The finest prize we should seek,
The ultimate reward to be sought
can only be gained by being meek
to come before our Lord as weak,
trusting in His grace as we ought.

can only be gained by being meek
to come before our Lord as weak,
trusting in His grace as we ought.
The way to our Lord’s reward of “well done”
is through death to our self-will & pride,
by complete & utter dependence on the Son
to accomplish His will in us when done,
so we are resting in Him where we abide.
