Quatern -

Powers so dark

by royowen


We fight against the powers of dark,
but not against the flesh; though stark.
So rage not 'gainst your fellow man,
that's not the race that Jesus ran.

'tis not the flame that lights the spark.
We fight against the powers of dark,
Allow not fury's angry tide,
be wisdom's measured help and guide.

We are God's envoys on this Earth,
and by His wisdom let faith birth.
We fight against the powers of dark,
Christ's gracious measure; that's your mark.

Speak not against the powers that be,
and let your tongue be malice free.
So guard your mouth; don't be a snark,*
we fight against the powers of dark.
