MAN

Man you were endowed with physical and mental power,

Why then are you allowing yourself to become a weakling?
Being overcome by submitting your will
To the control of the evil one,

letting youself be deceived  through the stomach,
With eating and drinking, filled with drunkeness?
Why have you given yourself over
To the works of darkness?

Take back control, because you were created,
For greatness, you are the author of your destiny,
You are more precious, than gold or silver.
Rise up and be counted, shake off the shackles of
Despondency, uncertainty and mistrust
You are God's crowning glory.

Rid yourself of pride, humble yourself and do right,

There is a much higher standard to be reached;

Draw near to God, and receive power;

You are Christ's purchased property, bought with a price.
