When I was on the Outside

Rising from nothingness by the power of God,
Mankind was brought forth on the Earth;
Trying for relentlessness, our feet attempt to trod
Upon the straight path of narrow width.

When He came to Earth to show the way,
He showed us the fate of any who may
Continue to follow His pathway through life
In a world which continues to fester in strife.

Morning brings wakefulness to the light of our Lord;
To all who remain in His fold.
Too bad the Establishment with contempt has deplored
The struggle kept up by the bold.
