Retain the Good

 

Test everything; retain what is good. Refrain from every kind of evil. (1 Thessalonians 5:21-22)

Lyric

[Verse 1]

Testing waters feeling fine - Sifting truth from tangled line

Trash we toss but gems we hold - Let your heart be brave and bold

[Verse 2]

Evil shadows all around - Listen close for honest sound

Take the good and cast the dirt - Swim through life don't fear the hurt

[Chorus]

Hold on tight to what is true - Leave behind the dark taboo

Cherish moments pure and clear - Walk on paths that banish fear

[Verse 3]

Life’s a puzzle piece by piece - Goodness brings a sweet release

Turn away from bitter lies - Look for light in cloudy skies

[Verse 4]

Never let the dark invade - Choose the path where love is made

Guard your soul and stand up tall - Build a world where kindness calls

[Bridge]

Test the day and test the night - Make your choices with delight

Take what's best and let it grow - Refrain from shadows watch them go
