Woodcut of man boxing with the devil

Been beat up and brought down Been stepped on and spit on Been lost but now I’m found O Lord I am not going to be the devils punching bag anymore Been called out MY name Nothing but the Christian name ma and grandma gave me Can you call me And did I tell you I am a child of the LIVING KING Been beat up and brought down Been stepped on and spit on Been lost but now I’m found O Lord I am not going to be the devils punching bag anymore I'm not gonna be the devil punching bag anymore I'm not gonna be the devil punching bag anymore not gonna be the devil punching bag anymore I digress, yet I am heavenly blessed And I have past my test I was down for the ninth count, but I got back up I not going to be your stomping ground, Satan I’m not going to let you continually beat me down Devil I’m not going to allow you to plant seeds of discouragement I rise up, I RISE above your seas torrents… My choice is to be the defeater I choose not to be defeated I digress, yet I am heavenly blessed And I have past my test And did I tell you I am a child of the LIVING KING I digress, yet I am heavenly blessed And I have past my test, yes I digress, yet I am heavenly blessed And I have past my test, yeah Alleluia, I digress, yet I am heavenly blessed And I have past my test I digress, yet I am heavenly blessed And I have past my test O Lord I am not going to be the devils punching bag anymore I'm not gonna be the devil punching bag anymore I'm not gonna be the devil punching bag anymore not gonna be the devil punching bag anymore I digress, yet I am heavenly blessed And I have past my test I am not going to be the devils punching bag anymore 3/6/20 Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2020©
