Dealing With The Adversary

My enemy is a mean old bird
From me, he tries to steal God’s Word
He tries to fool me with his lies
He thinks he’ll make me compromise  
He shoots his fiery darts at me
He thinks his roaring will make me freeze
He condemns me for my past mistakes
He thinks by that, my heart will break
He tries to keep me down with pressures
He tries to steer my wrong with pleasures 
He thinks against his wiles I cannot stand 
He thinks he has the upper hand

BUT I’ve got news for that S.O.B.
In Christ I have the victory!  
My ransom has been fully paid
Free from his clutches, I have been made!
Over my life he has no right
For I’m a son of God with might!
Greater is he that is in me
Than that old snake will ever be!
I am equipped with all I need 
Against his methods, I will succeed!  
My mind’s renewed to hold God’s Word
I’m not afraid of that old bird! 

So if I hear that lion’s roar
I know that I need fear no more
Because it’s Christ in me, I’m sure
And I am more than a conqueror!
