On a steep ravine

Getting closer to the fire

Clinging flat to the rock

Not falling is the desire

A close grip on the rock

Makes the climb more sure

The light is so powerful

Gives the strength to endure

Others there along the way

Are there to help the weak (Gal.6:2)

The young are holding fast the rock

They can almost see the peak

Remove the thorns along the way

So no distractions choke (Matt. 13:32)

A clear path is easier

When traveling through smoke

Our God is a consuming fire (Hebrews 12:29)

He that cometh to God must believe (Hebrews 11:6)

After ye have done the will of God, 

The promise you'll receive! (Hebrews 10:36)

The lust of The flesh

The lust of the eyes

Lord, take these away

And spare me from pride (I John 2:16)

The one thing I know

That I don't want to be

Someone higher than thou

-like that Pharisee (Luke 18:9 )

Who thought himself righteous

And better than others (Luke 18:11-12)

Lord let me live

A life that is humble.  ( Prov.22:4)

When you think your living right

I desire a pure heart (Psalms 24:4)

Help me  resist the evil

He raised Christ from the dead,

And set Him at His own right hand,

With His exceedingly great power, (Eph 1:19-20)

Into  your servant's house,"

The Syrian host came by night,

Dothan surrounded round about,

Warriors, horses and chariots,

Elisha's servant has some doubts,

Alas, my master! How shall we do? 

Was his fearful reply

Elisha prays to God 

and God opens the young mans eyes 

A mountains full of protection,

For Elisha was then seen, (II Kings 6:14-18)

Thank God for His protection

When his people are in need
