Satans Ways

Satan is alive and on our misery he thrives
Whatever it is you have going wrong in your life
Something that makes you feel as if your swimming against the tide
Something that no matter how hard you try you just cant seem to get it right
From paying bills to the car running good to getting to work on time
If we allow him, he will mess with every aspect of our life
He thrives on anything negative, sadness, heart break, disbelief and doubt
satans tries to effect everything in our lives, , no matter how big or how small, that gets us
down
He's lurking around every corner just waiting for us to fall
When we are tempted by sinful greedy things we just know are wrong, thats Satans call
For example every sunday Pastor Dan helps our Lord get me fired up
I go home happy and glowing, immersed in my faith, thinking how beautiful is Jesus's love
Then I begin to hear about how there may not be enough gas for the week
How I can't afford to do this and that, and by the way how horrible is my driving
My faithful glow begins to fade and before I know it I'm focused on not being happy
Satan is in the seat next to me yappin his jaws about everything in life i'm lacking
So I turn to him with the sweetest of smiles
I say why don't you go rest for a while
My Lord will take care of me and there's no need for you to worry
I'm basking in my lords love and to stop doing that i'm in no hurry
Just that quick our rolls are reversed and he's the one unhappy
He becomes beligerant and his tone turns sharp and snappy
So I reach out and turn the radio up
And together Matthew Wests songs and I kick his butt
Pretty soon he stops speaking
Realising my faith in my Lord his negativity is defeating
Satan becomes very quiet then and I know he's thinking
Planning his next move, for my faith he desperately wants to weaken
I'll be ready tho the next time he tries
And even if I falter a bit i realize
My Lord never leaves my side
He always helps me win this fight
