For Such a Time as This
Vickie Baker

Basking in the presence of the Lord
The tyranny of the urgent clouds my mind.
Forgetting my Deliverer, I focus on my fears
Setting up my heart for the greatest battle yet.
Crouched outside my door, Sin stalks my every move
Storms the gates, marches in. Trouble rents a room.
Forbidden vices resurrect--total Hell breaks loose!
Suddenly God’s fierce brigade—warriors of prayer
Surround my heart, seal sin’s fate, for such a time as this.
Sin slinks away defeated, bides its time once more
Crouching in the shadows just outside my door.
