A Maiden's Warfare

By Carol A. Deladurantey

Press on to heights of glory now,

And keep thy steady eye.

One must not falter in this fight,

Through some may fllee or fly.

Take hold the charge thou hast been given,

To battle we must go.

But not with our own maiden hands,

Do we take up a shield or bow.

We wage this war in words and actions,

With our every deed.

We follow Christ our captain,

Thro' him we will succeed.

Tell me now have we forgot

The charge from God above

To keep our hearts in purity,grace,

Modesty, truth and love.

These are our weapons, our shields, our swords;

In this battle we now fight.

We strive not for an earthly king,

But for our God of truth and might.
