Raise Up Your Head

Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)

Leave behind what's bugging you.
Move from it to go.
Don't be baited to argue.
Move from that to go.
Away!

Raise up your head giving praises...
To The Lord.

Leave behind what's bugging you.
Refuse to argue with a fool.
Choose this to do and move your steps,
Away!

Raise up your head to give praises,
To The Lord
God Almighty.
Raise up your head,
Giving praises...
To The Lord!
