Enslaved

You're a slave to the domination of your choosing. You're so naïve. Simple denial creates confusion. Just admit it. That you have a problem It's so obvious to us all Just admit it and take the fall We are delusioned. We think that we are free. We're so bound By our own mindful sound. Our thoughts twist. We refuse to acknowledge. We purposely miss The escape route that is made. We are enslaved To the gods of this world To carnal minded thinking Instead of refreshing renewal. How do we escape? When all there is to see Is the constant failure The repetitive redundancy Do we stand? Cast off evil imaginations, Let our minds have revelation, And our spirits impartation. It's no joke. The hardest armor to wear The armor of God Yet it defends us rightly. No penetration. The boundaries are set. But the battle lines Are in our own minds. Can you win? Will you stand up to yourself? To the ideas you've adopted. The values you claim true. The mind's playground. Full of imaginations Deceitful in it's own passivity But there is another… Enslaved to God Thinking thoughts He gives Not all is lost in this generation New thoughts given rejuvenation I will stand. Even in the field of myself. When my mind is against me When everything else is failing. It's either, or. The choice is well-defined. You're either for or against. Which do you choose? Romans 6:22 - But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.
