The Prince of Peace

The enemy tortures my mind Sends me trouble that I can’t right He whispers in my ear of all I’ll find When I look for joy, peace and light There will be anger, despair and strife He will send worry and depression All the things that destroy my mind Please, God, keep the enemy away from me Force him to leave me alone within Where all this trouble harasses me And causes me to question my very sanity Please God, get the enemy to leave my mind Fill me with joy, freedom and insight Let him know he has no control over my life That you are my strength and you’re always right The enemy tries to control my very heart With torturous words of all that is unnerving He brings me pieces of heartbreak to linger on And touches my soul with disillusionment He always wants to bring me down to his level Where there is nothing but pain and the devil But, God, will answer me and free my heart to be Joyful and happy, filled with gladness unimaginable Please, God, keep the enemy away from me Force him to leave me alone within Where all this trouble harasses me And causes me to question my very sanity Please God, get the enemy to leave my mind Fill me with joy, freedom and insight Let him know he has no control over my life That you are my strength and you’re always right Don’t let him near me, my glorious God Keep me in your presence where I can find peace Never leave me nor forsake me, sweet Jesus Forever bring me closer to your spirit Please bring me closer to thee, my Prince
