"Arrayed"


“Arrayed”

8/9/16

Seemed like endlessly I viewed
enemies arrayed against us
file upon file into the distance
archers, tanks, swordsmen
horse mounted and in tracks
cannons and howitzers there
hills, mountains, valleys, peaks
millions if not billions there
battle armor gleaming in sun
unnumbered were the enemy
us but a very few in our ranks
standing firm to endure to end
protecting our families
defending our religion
understanding obedience
obedient to all commandments
awaiting the battle this day
every day – yesterday’s
each morning to arise
carrying the flag of freedom
Jesus Christ our Savior
caring not the odds to fight
arrayed against us the many
worldly – evil – fence-sitters
unable to advance within
if we violate not covenants
in trials and tribulations!
