Soul-dier's Charge/ Challenge!

Someday a universal Last Post/ Last Trump will soundbegging these questions... To what ending do we labour,Shoulder burdens, laugh and weepKeep the faith and love our neighborRise and shine and go to sleep To what purpose do we reasonWeathering life's highs and lowsPersevering through each seasonBearing one another's woes To whose command do we caterLeft foot, right foot, on and upDoes the grave or something/One GreaterDrain life's Intangible Cup To what finish do we struggle?What good is the bad we bear?What makes worth earth's toil and trouble?What makes lucrative its care? To what Triumph do we rally?Braving sorrow's bitter stingWhat makes bearable the valleyTo what Promise can Hope cling? For what profit do we suffer?  What makes the Prize worth the fight?What is dark foreboding's buffer?What defends deferred delight? What Cause rouses us from slumber?What fuels faith's Sacred ChargeWhat use are tears without number?Is prayer but a drifting barge? Is joy but what this world offers?Always death's impending prey? Is wealth but cold, gold-lined coffersBy ill Fate's stroke borne away? Or, is God's love, life's ambition?Is  His Promise worth the price?Is His Reward worth the MissionHis love worth the sacrifice? Does what-waits-to-be compel usTo trust and be of good cheerDoes the love of God indwell usMaking all the difference here? Love helps everybody shoulderLife, as on and up we plodLove never fails any Soul-dierWho has put his/her trust in God Love's Call of Duty is wendingWarriors God-ward, undeterredTo a Beginning,  unendingEye has not seen nor ear heard Then with valiant, holy fervorSpirit armed and gospel shodFight the good fight like a Soul-dierBringing all glory to God © Janet Martin 1 Cor. 2:9it is written:“No eye has seen,no ear has heard,no heart has imagined,what God has prepared for those who love Him.” 2 Tim.2:3-5You therefore must endure[] hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier. 5 And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.
