When the devil and his helpers swoop in
And you begin to break down
Don’t let that one sin tarnish God’s given crown
As you are bobbing for air so much so that you can barely breathe
Trapped back in his laur as he’s looking at you he seethes
You have to block as it has occurred by distracting your mind
You have to refocus on God’s word and all the true riches you find
All those things that will be so grand
All those things that He has planned
Focus on what the Lord has said
And soon Temptations’ dead
What the devil meant for you you have have left him in kind
Making your heart a little more true and oh the riches you have mined
Don’t let him back in as he keeps knocking all night long
Give Jesus this win for He’s the One who made you strong
Battles are won and lost but tonight declare victory
For losing has such a cost that the effects you can almost see
Do some of your favorite things that will bring Jesus near
Oh the joy that always brings, His love becoming more clear
Going back!
Not being a part.
A well known return
With no book to start.
Only a visitor
Not able to stay.
A worn out excitement
To brighten a day
