The Devouring Lion
The Christian pathway is a war
our enemy seeks to bring us down
fights and conflict is all around
always waiting to take our crown
Be sober and vigilant at all times
you never know who's at your back
prowling and waiting for your slip
but Jesus is there keeps you on track
This enemy is like a roaring lion
always seeking and looking to devour
so important to stand fast in Christ
for He alone is your strong tower
As David fought off lions in his day
so we can likewise in the saviour's name
living with our godly Armour in place
so fear not making God's glory your aim
(Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: - 1 Peter 5: 8 )
