The Power In the Word

when trouble comes in bunches
like grapes on a vine
you're at your breaking point
afraid you're about to lose your mind
the devil is on the offense
shooting arrows of destruction
it's time to wield the Sword of the Spirit
it's power has positive instructions
the food of life, the daily bread 
the manual from the Lord God
find your strength in it's words
and take them to heart

it will give you hope in times of despair
it will give you courage and not a spirit of fear
it will give you solace from the mental and emotional pain
it will give you the comfort of the Holy Spirit to help you sustain

don't let the adversary cause you to kneel and surrender
Jesus Christ is your salvation and spiritual defender
depend on Him, lean on him for He'll always have your back
wearing the full armor of God to defend and attack
against the demonic strongholds that are standing in your way
trying to stop your happiness from day to day
so don't give up, don't give in and don't check out on life
find your resolve and the strength to carry on  
in the words of the Lord Jesus Christ
