The battle begins & ends in the mind

Monday’s Message

The true battle is fought 
Between the eyes 
and when we hid behind 
Enemy lies
We let him take captive our minds 
and deeper 
and deeper 
Into the pit we slide
It is no wonder we feel sullen 
Weak inside 
Bound by chains
Filled with remorse and blame 
Who is really winning this dark and twisted game? 
 
But wait…
 
Do you hear that sound?
A trumpet blowing loud
Saying there is no other name 
Above His name 
He is the same yesterday and today 
and when we call upon our Savior 
Cry out and pray 
No weapon formed against us shall prosper 
and when just for a second 
You thought that you lost her 
A shield goes up 
No one can cross
 
Your mind is a beautiful 
Yet delicate thing 
Full of power and might 
You can't see inside 
But hidden between the light 
Are crevices of dark 
Battles and scars 
and when we let those wounds win 
The enemy sneaks in 
Attacking our thoughts
At any and all cost
and that's when we feel trapped 
That's when we feel lost 
 
But sister just call out His name! 
Call a sister, a brother, a mother
When you are sinking
drowning in pain 
Darling, there is no shame
This life is so fragile 
A temporary thing 
But we must gird our loins 
and put on our breastplates 
and when the helmet falls off 
and all words are lost 
You know who to call. 
 
"Let the word [spoken by] Christ (the Messiah) have its home [in your hearts and minds] and dwell in you in [all its] richness, as you teach and admonish and train one another in all insight and intelligence and wisdom [in spiritual things, and as you sing] psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, making melody to God with [His] grace in your hearts." Colossians 3:16
