Paranoid
Crazy
Less than a human being
That’s the story
The lies he feeds me
Attempting to oppress me
Upsetting me
He says I don’t belong
He says being good is wrong
And in my eyes, I want to believe
Life is more to what my desires perceive
He paints a picture of a happy roadway
Perverting my thoughts
Having an impact on all that I say

He says it’s best to die
Stop moping around and cry
Making sure the plans God has for me I don’t see
Trying to let God’s hands stay far from me.
Saying it’s not my time for deliverance
I’ve messed up so badly
No time for a second chance

His passion is a trick
Deception
All smokes and mirrors
But God’s plan is salvation
While the devil tries to feed me lies, God guides me
He teaches me to open my eyes
Extend my heart to the things of His
Not the flower that wilts, slowly, surely

I know that he wants me to do his dirty work
What is there to gain?
Hell and a life filled with pain
Oh, the shame and the guilt that Christ bore for me
He did it that all for me
Not for me to fall into the devil’s trap

This deadly game of deception he plays
I will not stay in that park with him
For my life will be poisoned if I eat the fruit he gives
Jesus is what I need in my diet
No matter what he tries to pull I have God, not giving me more than I can bear
Comforting me, wiping my every tear
Yes, I may suffer, but it’s all for the good
Building me up
Concrete
Stronger than wood
So if he wants to come, I am ready to fight
I have my Defender
Resisting the deceiver
Drawing closer to the Redeemer
