Not For Wusses Lyrics

There are certain important missions

To which we should never assign

The faint of heart

Slaying dragons

Driving in Houston traffic

And changing diapers

None of these three

Allows one to be

Squeamish, wussy

Or possess a jelly-like backbone

One must drive home

The courage to brave the fire's heat

Dodge the guy who's gonna cut you off

And wish you could dodge the scents

This little one's giving off

The decision

To move forward with each mission

Must be solid

And once the first step is taken

The journey cannot be forsaken

Because

A half-changed baby is a disaster

A partly slain dragon will return for revenge

And partly paying attention in Houston's traffic

Will result in a fully slain you

So it is with the Christian faith

There is truly no place

For the less-than-brave

Just ask Gideon

The coward known for his mettle

Transformed by the renewing of his mind

He could not settle

For anything less

Than blatant, blood-bought, bravery

Brought to bare on The Enemy

Remember this date 2.17.15!

Christian converts seen

Forcibly kneeling on a usually tranquil shore

Machetes to throats

Threatened with an introduction

To The Grim Reaper

Unless they denounce

Their Savior and LORD

They chose not to conform

To the cowardice

Of ISIS

They put Hebrews eleven type faith

Into practice

With hearts made of love and steel

Consider the following

The southern Baptist preacher

Who stood against inequality

Risking time behind bars

The elderly Nunn

Who lived with little

To give all she could

An old-timer facing Pharoah's legion

Armed with faith and a walking stick

A strong man, giving his last measure

To destroy God's enemies

It is undoubtable

Strength, daring, audacity and

Let's-get-this-done level tenacity

Are a requirement for standing

Against the spiritual status-quo

We don't flow with the world

We ebb with the Living Water

When days get dark

We smile

Seeing The Light shine through

Doors previously unnoticed

Living the plush life

Or dining on poverty

Full stomach or empty, with plenty or little

We can endure it all because

He gives us fortitude

He grants us the attitude

The will, the mindset

That though the enemy may gain ground today

Tomorrow is not his

Though fear may threaten

It will not win

Christians are hear to loudly declare against the popular agenda

Like Mandela against apartheid

And Jesus against the storm

We were born again

To send out a war cry

Gather the troops and

Assemble on the battlefield of nonconformance

Though timid you may be now

If God calls you, a warrior you will be in time

So, draw your courage

Draw your swords

Cause following Christ

Is a mission

Not for the faint of heart!
