Speak Forth the Blessings

The lurking serpent wants you silent Never more to say a word Until your fate is sealed in darkness Have you listened, surely heard? He is speaking thoughts of dread In subtlety he robs your blessings Leaving you with fear instead Your mind’s a fertile battleground There is shouting from all sides Hold fast to what the Spirit taught And keep your heart where love abides Don’t listen to the things he is saying Surely there’s sweet victory if only you will stand Remembering the promises are always yours God has placed them in your hand Speak forth the blessings of the Lord In the secret place, in the comfort of His light He will lift you up and keep you safe With the trusted treasure of His might
