Have you ever seen a child
Head down in despair? Have you ever witnessed a women, Battered beyond repair? What about the broken man, Have you looked into his eyes? Taught to “Be a man” in public, But when alone he cries. What about the adulteress, Who is thrown away in shame, Have you paid attention to her accusers, The ones who throw stones and blame? Have you ever seen the demons That bind the human race? Fallen angels without a home Trying to make more space. Twisted truths they whisper, So loudly in your ear Like boas they silently wait To strangle you with fear The enemy manipulates Your thoughts to make you believe That God does not love you, And that “You are not worthy.” Defeated thoughts can stifle The person He created you to be, Dendrites of death That’s what toxic thoughts can be Vines from hell can pull us down into the Sodom of great sin; They take away our senses And kill us from within. The quicksand of condemnation Gets stronger when we thrash; Self-reliance and self-righteousness Is witchcraft at its best Thinking we can do all things In our own power, Leaves us open to be eaten When the lion comes to devour. It's not by force or by might That we overcome, It's reaching up and taking the hand of God the Father and Son. So when your drenched in darkness Feeling hopeless, cold and damp. Lift your eyes towards heaven And find the perfect lamp. Cry out to Jesus He’s the Light of the World! He will pierce into the darkness And the vines will be unfurled. Cry out to Yahweh He has a mighty hand With outstretched arm He redeems you From that distant land. Have faith that He loves you and with confident hope declare The God of all creation Made a way for you to be spared. He sent His son as an offering An atonement for your sin The blood of Jesus covers you When you believe in Him. Now be transformed by scripture For His Word is alive, Body from soul from spirit It separates and divides. Replace your your thoughts with His thoughts, And meditate on His Word, It’s the sword of the Spirit And cuts off what you heard. Instead of saying "I am worthless" or "I do not belong" Say “I am a child of God” and "With God, I am strong." "I have been redeemed" "My sins have been blotted out" These are the thoughts of God. So let go of condemnation and no longer doubt. The blood of Christ covers you, It's the price He chose to pay So that you could be forgiven and live with Him someday. We all get to choose to trust God and obey, or to listen to the liar and to live this life afraid. So when you collide with the enemy who tries to halt, Do not lose your flavor For you are God's favorite salt. Fix your thoughts on His thoughts, Those true, honorable, and right; They are pure, lovely, and admirable. And will give you new sight. Yes, think about these things That are excellent of praise. Our God is exalted and holy And it’s His banner we raise!
