Resist

The devil couldn’t let me go
Once I had found the love
The love of Jesus Christ, the Lord
Who came down from above

The devil put a stronghold on
He wouldn’t let me be
I knew I had found true love
And the gift to be free

The devil latched on tighter
He gripped with an iron fist
The power of the Lord, my God
Is why I could resist

But, fighting all that effort
Against the devil’s power
Had created me to grow tired
My attitude to sour

I needed to remember
That the power was the Lord’s
That I could rest when I needed
That it was peace I could afford

The devil cannot win this fight
As long as the faith I keep
The knowledge nestled in my heart
That I am one of the Lord’s sheep
