BATTLE RAGES ON

by applecheeks   Jun 2, 2006


Struggles come and struggles go
When will they come well nobody knows
They sneak up so subtly and catch you off guard
Sometimes leave you wounded, broken and scared

Life sometimes feels like were playing a game
We are the pawns on the board of guilt and shame
Which choice to make and where to go next
Wondering why we always feel constantly vexed

The spiritual battle rages within
As you fight with the enemy of your fleshly sin
Your tired and weary from the fight that persist
Sometimes the temptations overwhelming but you
Know you must resist

Flee from the devil or suffer in the flames
Run to the lord who knows us by name
Stop playing roulette for that is the enemies game
He wants you to bet it all, sell your soul to him
So you'll never be the same

Yes struggles will come and choices to make
When you come to the fork in the road which path will you take?
For one will lead to heaven, the other leads to your demise
Listen to the voice of God or focus on the enemies lies

Searching your heart, knowing whats true
You run from the serpent and the Father you cling to
His embrace disintegrates all of your confusion
Shattering all of your selfish illusions

Life is hard, and living life right is harder
So stay close to the Lord, with Satan don't barter
Its your choice.... the prince of air who doesn't play fair,
Or a gracious, forgiving, loving Heavenly Father
