Wrestling with Satan’s Lie

Trying to make sense of our acquiescence,
Wrestling with the way to speak truth, to fight,
to describe that lie of Satan, that we are unworthy,
that we are not who the bible says we are and how
the lies dwells within us, how it wicks our energy,
our spirit, how the lie seeps into our spirits
saying we aren't really forgiven,
that we are outside of God's love
when the lie isn't true…
 
Too long have we wandered, have we pondered,
have we lingered in stagnant waters, in filth,
washing ourselves with the bile, the stink,
of the lies of Satan, the Enemy, have we given
away our legacy, God’s power, to the lies,
the singular lie that we are dirty, corrupt,
when we have been washed clean,
when we have been made righteous,
by the blood of the risen Christ…
