    Listen To The Sounds

    Listen.

    Can you hear it?

     

    The sounds of a soul slowly dying

    It is pure and blissful

     

    And just like the thief comes in to steal, kill and destroy

     

    The enemy comes in to steal your joy

     

    Your happiness is their weakness

    Your sorrows and pain bring great joy to their heart

     

    The enemy lavishes in your suffering

    Burns like fire when you are overjoyed

     

    The enemy knows you are weak

    Making you weaker is what makes them strong

    Tearing you down, so that you will quit

     

    Fighting back has never been your style

    You're much too classy for that

    Just waiting for the day when the enemy will see the error in their ways

     

    The sounds of a spirit breaking is what hurts the most

     

    The sounds of apologies and forgiveness is what makes your heart ache the most

     

    Never one for confrontation

    Always a mere bystander in the flesh of destruction

    Never pausing

    Only gazing at a look so evil it makes you wanna shudder

    Pondering...

    Waiting...

    For that day the enemy will see

    That being fake is not the answer

     

    Guess the joke is on the enemy, for they can say what they want

     

    But what the enemy seems to have forgotten is that when a person has Jesus in their heart they are actually...

     

    Much stronger then the enemy

     

    And the God you serve

     

    Is a worthy man

    A righteous man

    And can't nobody fault you for that...EVER

     

    So, listen

    I tell you listen...

    to the sounds of a spirit slowly dying.
