Sometimes the Devil Does-

Sometime the devil is talking but you don't have to listen 
sometime the devil is talking but you don't have to listen 
sometime the devil is talking but you don't have to listen
Whoa to that's still small voice sounds good but it's not pristine it has no rhythm
It sounds good but it's not true because it reeks division

Sometimes the devil walks and he's right beside you Sometime the devil walks and he's right there beside you Sometime the devil walks in your feet hurt because you're wearing his shoes Sometime the devil walks and your feet hurts because he's trying to get in you
Sometimes the devil smiles because he's beautiful Sometime the devil laughs his eyes smile because he's eluded you Sometime the devil smiles because he spoke death and division in his wilds Sometime the devil wants to trick you because that's just what he do (child)
Sometime the devil is talking but you don't have to listen sometime the devil is talking but you don't have to listen sometime the devil is talking but you don't have to listen Woo Whoa!! that's still small voice sounds good but it's not pristine it has no rhythm It sounds good but it's not true because it reeks division
So now going forward if it don't line up with God and it's spoken if it sounds sweet to eat I won't chew it If it feels good I won't do it If it causes division and shame I won't go through it If I walk and hurt my feet allow my Jesus to carry me through Not going to listen to that voice I'm going to favor God's choice Everything to smiles is not of God for I am his child and I choose to listen to walk to smile and laugh in the glory of my Father God
Sometimes the devil just do But you don't have to listen You don't have to walk with him You don't have to look at his smile You are not his you are a Child of God, a Child of God, a Child of God You are GOD CHILD
