The Path of an Overcomer

The Path of an Overcomer

When the world opposes you for where you stand

And they mock and ridicule with a cruel hand;

When you feel hurt and sad by what they do, 

And your faith is tested in ways you never knew. 

Remember God holds your heart in His hand. 

He will vindicate you right where you stand. 

He is never far off as some may suppose. 

The secrets you hold He alone knows. 

He will show you what you need to say. 

At that particular hour, His spirit will convey

Everything necessary in your time of need. 

Just cling to Him, not vengeance or greed. 

When the world opposes us as it often will. 

Look into the heavens and just be still. 

God's hour of vindication is near. 

Step aside and let Him defend you here.

He will decide as He is the ultimate judge. 

So rest in Him, and let go of your grudge. 

It's Him who determines the path of your life,

And for all of your needs He will always provide. 

These storms are a speck in the big picture.

They will soon be a memory, no more than a fixture. 

So as you walk through the rain and the thunder breaks. 

Keep walking, He will protect you and take your heart ache. 

Just keep going, the sun will soon breakthrough 

And you will understand His purpose and His point of view.

Until then, keep walking, taking one-step and then another. 

This is the path of His elect, the path of an overcomer.
