Winning the Battle

In order to win the war, I must simply win this battle
Obtaining what God has in store and not being satans chattel 
Keeping the Lord by my side now in my darkest hour
With all  the devil has tried I give God all the power

I have fallen many times before but I refuse to give in
For I know what’s in store when you submit to  sin
A stranglehold now broken but the past  is never forgotten
Knowing the Word of God saved a soul that was truly rotten

The battle will continue tomorrow but tonight peace is at hand
There is no need for sorrow if in God’s Word you understand
For I am lost when without as my pride gets in the way
But there’s no need for such doubt , but a need to just pray

Kneeling at the foot of the Cross I can but only bow my head 
In being at such a loss at what should’ve been  me instead
satan just off  in the distance in so plotting his next attack
For weakness he can sense so tomorrow he’ll be back

James 1:13-17
