Down and out

John 14:16

16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate, 

Who will never leave you.

 

 

Down and out

 

 

 

When down and out … down for the count,

 

the best way that it seems

 

to get back on your feet again

 

is to pause while on your knees

 

 

 

To thank the Lord for showing you

 

that " down and out " does not count

 

When Jesus is willing to pick you up

 

after losing every round.

 

 

 

Until the Truth comes to your heart

 

that fighting will keep you down.

 

So if you want to be on your feet

 

let Jesus lead every round.

 

 

 

He'll take the punches meant for you

 

and nothing can bring Him down.

 

He'll be with you your whole life through

 

so you will have the Everlasting Crown.
