After Pentecost     Pentecost 22      Luke 18:1-8

Persistence (YC No 222)

Jesus, in this tale,

Said “Persevere; Don’t fail”;

He said we can prevail;

Stand firm! Be strong!

If a judge is mean;

His justice is not seen;

Do not forsake the scene;

Stand firm! Be strong!

Though he may not care,

Much calling to be fair

May lead him to despair;

Stand firm! Be strong!

When the world is wrong

And evil is so strong,

The conflict may be long;

Stand firm! Be strong!

When the work is tough

And when the road is rough,

When we have had enough,

Stand firm! Be strong!

Let us all proclaim

Compassion is our aim;

With courage yet no shame,

Stand firm! Be strong!
