For the Average Man

Man up...

Recognize your responsibility

And live up to them

Expect pressure to be overwhelming

Stress to be suffocating

And difficulties to be only the beginning

Don't be some sissified male

Giving in to temptation and sin with the

Same ease as opening a door

Put aside your masculine pride

And embrace your identity as

A soon to be immaculate bride

A prodigal son

A friend who is forgiven by the one who was forsaken

Let this old life go

It is done

Wake up...

From your dream of complacency

Sleeping in your bed of fickleness

And keeping your body lukewarm with

A blanket of apathy

This life is no illusion

Reality is confusing

But don't be delusional or naive to think

That your life is not worth living

You're only fooling yourself

If you believe that standing on the sidelines is better than fighting on the front lines.

Just sit down junior

Don't stand up unless you're going to step up.

Have some backbone

Live with integrity and character

Look past the fear from circumstance

With a faith founded on truth

And a hope based on love

You can pretend to be a man

With your solo acts of selfishness

Screaming for attention

Simultaneously scared of sensitivity

No one is stopping you

Because the real men are walking in the opposite direction.

You can join us when you're done behaving like a brat and become a child at heart.
