Guard Your Gift of Faith
by Barbara Philbrook

Guard your gift of faith more than the national treasure,
because it has a wealth far beyond measure.

Satan will attempt to destroy your faith if he's allowed.
It is by destroying faith his phony victory is avowed.

Every Bible character had their faith tested and tried,
but that we have a Comforter sent by the Father can not be denied.

We have the ability to set Satan back in his place.
Just stomp your foot and yell "Stop" into his face.

'Get thee behind me Satan', is what you can say.
Of course he'll rebuff if you stand up to him in this way.

God says 'Call on Me in the day of trouble and I will deliver thee.'
Read these words in verse fifteen in Psalms number fifty.

We will be delivered from the taunting of Satan and his men,
and if they dare to return, just call on God again.

There is no doubt that can overcome you or me,
because our Heavenly Father has already won the victory.

Guard your gift of faith, guard it well,
for if you don't, Satan will drive you straight to hell.
