That Special Verse

Past aggression
Turned into an obsession
Turned into a love 
For Jesus

Sometimes I think
That life is unreasonable
Then I think I about Jesus
Hanging up on that Cross
Start to realize I was the one who's lost

Now matter how many times I try
No matter how many times I say goodbye
To the old me
Jesus set me free 
That's pure love 
That's poetry
So when I see down
Filled with anxiety
I remember this

I can't stop the Devil from trying
Can't stop him from lying
Trying to deceive 
Make me believe 
That I am weak

See I won't let Satan win
Won't let him make me feel broken
Cause Jesus love is stronger than him

Some days I can't snap out of this
Feeling this anxiety
Like I hardly exist

I look for that special verse
To lift me up when I feel hurt
Pain will not defeat me
