Notes About The Poem

Ephesians 6:10-18 KJVS

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. [11] Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

[12] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. [13] Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

[14] Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; [15] And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; [16] Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. [17] And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: [18] Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

DELIVER ME

So deep in sin, I turned away
The skies above were darkest Grey
Then I repent on bended knee
And Jesus Christ delivered me

A rainbow shone, the clouds rolled back
He set my feet on the right track
I'll forgive for he forgave me
And Jesus Christ delivered me

Then, lo, one day again I fell 
An open door to evil hell
Truth of this He made me to see
And Jesus Christ delivered me

Don't get comfortable with sin
You are welcoming devils in
Obeying Thy God gives you a key
And Jesus can deliver thee

Salvation from death we obtain 
But open doors let in the rain
So, light of God you cannot see
But Jesus can deliver thee 

All power and strength, there's no shame
When you cry out in Jesus name
Resist the devil, he must flee
Jesus, the Lord delivers me

Ephesians six will document
The armor of God, it's intent
Wear it for the whole world to see
How Jesus can deliver thee

The helmet of His salvation
The first step in this race we run
Protection from Satan's deceit 
Yes Jesus will deliver thee

When all my sins I do confess
I'm covered in his righteousness
Sinless Christ nailed them to the tree
None but He could deliver me

No shin guards, flexibility 
So we can pray on bended knee
Humble ourselves unto the King
The King of Kings deliver thee

A hunger for the word of God
With the gospel my feet are shod
I'll be prepared to preach God's peace 
So Jesus can deliver thee

With truth My loins are girt about
All life flows from the river's mouth
The truth will set me free indeed
And Jesus Christ delivered me

Take up the shield of ancient faith
Trust in the promises God saith
Satan's darts of fire miss me
Each time Jesus delivers me

The Bible is a two edged sword
Father will always keep his word
I draw it shining, from it's sheath 
This Word made flesh deliver thee

Vanya Evangeline January 30, 2025 at 3:47 AM What a great encouragement for those who struggle with anxieties over sin and guilt. Thank you for writing this <3 Crystol Woods January 30, 2025 at 8:26 AM Just a word I feel led to share... The Holy Spirit will convict us of sin in order for us to be changed by His power, but Satan will whisper guilt and shame to us, making us feel unworthy of Forgiveness. Don't listen to him! Let God convict and change you from within. Guilt comes from the devil, conviction and repentance from God. <3<3 xoxo Crystol Woods January 30, 2025 at 8:20 AM Praise God! Thank you for your kind words! Xoxo

Benjamin Bartley January 28, 2025 at 4:53 PM Well said. I say, I may lack His armor but not His grace. Thanks for sharing. Crystol Woods January 29, 2025 at 1:15 PM We wear The armor because of his grace so I'm sure you're protected! Thanks! Xo
