Drunk And Disorderly (Fawcett #8) (Ephesians 5:15-21; 1 Peter 5:8-9)

When things looked bleak in Valley Forge that year,
The rebel cause about to disappear,
The foe relaxed and failed to stand on guard,
And party-time arrived in winter hard.

The Yanks formed up and crossed the Delaware,
And seized the town while foe was unaware
Of danger from advancing troops at night;
When daylight came, quite brief ensuing fight.

How frequently we’re blown away with fright,
When Satan and his ilk approach at night
And take us unawares – we party on;
And when the dawn arrives the battle’s done.

So stay awake, and do not dissipate
Your forces – in this life participate
With lives filled up with Spirit – on alert;
Don’t prematurely with a triumph flirt.
