I am not completely devoid of any joy
But I find a negative attitude much easier to employ.
I read many a book about the real me
and realize more and more
how much I don't deserve eternity.
Not with the Holy Savior.
Not with my Heavenly Father.
Ever since my humble repentance,
I've had access to His glorious defenses.
But you try to get me down,
Telling me I look quite well with this ugly frown.
"A scowl and a sneer, that will bring them near."
Oh, but you know that is not true.
Go away, leave me be.
I do not want you in my life,
all you cause is pain and strife.
Weavers of lies under the Father of Lies,
and you prey on the weak,
who by your words abide.
I can cast you down.
I can cast you out.
Then why do I take so much time?
Why do I let you in for awhile,
pull up a seat,
find out what intrigues you'll use as deceipt?
Why do I entertain those words, and
let them linger?
You are not part of this equation.
My home is not here for your invasion.
Again, I put my foot down.
Leave!
I call on The Truth
and you're gone.
As long as I keep my Sword at my side,
and raise my shield against your fiery arrows,
I will continue safely down the narrow.
Away from me!
Don't call me naiive or innocent,
as if it is an insult,
as if it is a crime.
You use others to do your dirty work,
and in the shadows you choose to lurk.
But when the Light is shone on you,
you're exposed as weak and powerless.
Do not bend the truth of my Father's Word.
Do not denounce its worth or value.
It was written then, it rings true now.
And only at the King's feet will I bow.
Didn't you hear me?
I said you can't win.
I am no longer burdened by every sin.
Jesus shed every one of them on the cross,
so that in Heaven I shall live.I accepted this, I will be there.
On earth you will wander,
and try to bother.
But you'll soon answer to the Father.
You'll be back with your pack of wolves,
but mark my words I am getting stronger.
Not by might of my own,
but only by the might of the throne.
This is life is His,
you cannot have it.
I'm His child.
Redeemed.
Justified.
Forgiven.
This is a war
you just cannot win.
But I find a negative attitude much easier to employ.

and realize more and more
how much I don't deserve eternity.
