POEM: “I Won’t Let Go!”
I want to let go, but I won’t let go.
There are battles to fight,
By day and by night,
For God and the right—
And I’ll never let go.
I want to let go, but I won’t let go.
I’m sick, ‘tis true,
Worried and blue,
And worn through and through,
But I won’t let go.
I want to let go, but I won’t let go.
I will never yield!
What! lie down on the field
And surrender my shield?
No, I’ll never let go!
I want to let go, but I won’t let go.
May this be my song
“Mid legions of wrong—
Oh, God, keep me strong
That I may never let go!”
