For The Enemy

You can’t burn down my house if I don’t live here
You can’t take my joy if my heart doesn’t fear 

You can’t trick me with lies if I know where you are
My greatest weapon is found in the hands with your scars 

You keep stabbing and tearing but it won’t stop my song 
You can’t steal from a hand that doesn’t try to hold on 


You can take all I have
You can kill and destroy
But you made one mistake 
You exposed your whole ploy. 

Threats intended to scare me
Made a fire ignite 
There’s a war that’s unseen 
And I’m prepared to fight 

My story isn’t hidden
It’s sheathed and it’s near
I’m just waiting for words
For the command to be clear


Bring your worst, bring your darkest 
Run me clean through 
All your lies, all your schemes
Will be used to undo you. 


But I’m sensing a shift 
In the way you are lurking
You’ve shot all your arrows 
But you see they’re not working 

So now you’re attacking 
The young, easy to fall 
You think that this makes me cry?
You don’t know me at all


The more that you taunt me
The louder I’ll scream 
The more children will hear me
That this is no dream!

I’m angry and ready
Full of love for my own 
Love in Christ can’t be broken 
He is king on throne. 

Not relying on self 
I’m dead, not really here
My life is risen in Christ 
Now you cower fear! 


You can’t burn down my house if I don’t live here
You can’t take my joy if my heart doesn’t fear 

You can’t trick me with lies if I know where you are
My greatest weapon is found in the hands with your scars
