THE BATTLE

There is a battle raging inside of me,
The devil is after me you see.
He's there in the morning,
He's there at night.
I stand and fight with all my might.
The devil is a lion seeking someone to devour,
He's on my back at every hour.
He puts doubts in my mind and fears in my heart,
I know his bite isn't as big as his bark.
My mind is weak and my body is worn,
I fear through the night and all through the morn.
He has stolen my peace, my comfort, my joy,
But there's one thing he can't steal and that's my soul.
I'm thankful for every day I get through,
I know one day I'll break through the blue.
One day I will have peace again,
I'm counting on God to restore me,
He is such a faithful friend.
