The truth sometimes I cannot see
Because I've let Satan blind me
The Devil deteriorates my self worth
By attacking my mind with his toxic words
As hard as I work and as much as I fight
I've tried to escape from the enemy's lies
I can feel with each day my mind getting worse
Though I say i'm okay, deep down, it hurts
My strength is gone and all hope feels lost
And I can't help but feel like happiness costs
I ask myself, "Do I want to live anymore?"
"Has darkness finally won the war?"
"Should I give up?" "Should I give in?"
"Is my happiness considered a sin?"
"This feels wrong... is this my fate?"
The Devil replies, "Yes there's no room for a clean slate"
With a curt nod, I drop of my head
As my heart is crushed and my spirit is dead,
A flash of light illuminates the dark
and a sudden warmth fills my heart
"You're worth more than you could ever know"
And I realize God's love could only grow
So the enemy really has no power
For God will only ever be stronger
So I've come to realize happiness is free
My God and Savior hand-crafted me
I no longer bother with the Devil's bluff
There's nothing I could ever do to erase God's love
