"Foreign Steps"
Written: September 11th, Sunday, 2022
By: Matthew Krogstad

Are your steps on this fallen sphere,
separate from the ones you see?
The King who reigns shall be your Fear,
as He is, so shall you be.

Do you fight this rotting flesh,
are you spent by its lifeless state?
Knowing that it only brings death,
leading you down that cursed fate.

Foreign steps on this wasted ground,
walking in tune with Heaven`s scent.
In this dark world where sin abounds,
does it cause your heart to lament?

Are you one where Christ resides?
Deep within your heart to dwell?
If the Lord in you abides,
tis the fruit that to us tell.

Christian, yours is not a life of ease,
do your joys in comfort lie?
A life that of this world to please,
puts your soul in paths to die.

Take up the Armor and be on guard,
our time we cannot waste.
This journey shall be narrow and hard,
yet sweet will be its taste.

The pleasure of sin is quick to fade,
find rest in the deep well-spring.
Jesus the Lord will come to your aid,
and in victory you shall sing.
