The Mind

The mind which man has been given
has stored all life’s concerns
even though a person might be saved
God’s truth must still be learned
____
and man must grow in that knowledge
in how to live sin free
by renewing the mind through Christ
to gain the victory
____
evil programming still lingers
its visions remain clear
as Satan tries to keep his ground
from strongholds built on fear
____
where weaknesses everyone has
the enemy shall find
temptations to fight against you
in the thoughts of your mind
____
bless God for the blood which covers
confession is the key
in dealing with unrighteous acts
from lusts that torture thee
____
for Jesus knows the heart of man
the thoughts that man thinks of
need grace established by His work
where nothing halts His love
____
keeping His children in holiness
as each does seek His mind
no power can take that away
wisdom from God divine
