Overcome
When you've fallen down and times are rough,
struggling in the depths of sin;
can't do this alone, you've had enough,
too ashamed to face the situation.
Don't worry, it's not the end,
and even though you feel so small;
everyone loses faith now and then,
you'll be welcomed back because He's already forgiven you.
Climb on out of your sinful slough,
feel the release of all chagrin;
no more need to pretend you’re tough,
you're in a place where we've all been.
But on your own you'll never win,
salvation comes to those who call;
look up to the sky, lift up your chin,
Never ending love and abounding grace are free for you too.
Brand new spirit without a scuff,
though at times you may feel defeated again;
when others gibe, mock, and act guff,
resist the fighting back temptation.
Spread God's love across the nation,
His justifications to them befall;
yet you'll remain in His constant protection,
the fights already over, there's no need to feud.
Satan will menace but it's all a bluff,
thinks he has a chance at the brawl;
but in reality he's been shackled and cuffed,
for the world's already overcome if you have the right view.
