Recognizing the Adversary

We Woke Up!

Did you feel the devil try and steal?

Ah, so you say you don’t know?

So, you don’t remember running?

You would try with all your might, but could not go.

Yes, thank God you woke up!

Did you feel the devil try and steal?

Ah, so you say you don’t know?

So, you don’t remember trying to scream?

Mouth wide open, but your voice would not go.

Yes, thank God you woke up!

Did you feel the devil try and steal?

Ah, so you don’t remember trying to fight?

Wanting to strike, but your arms would not go.

Yes, thank God you woke up!

There are many of us who felt the devil try and steal.

Ah, yes, we do remember and we know

So well the many vile acts in which we could not go.

The answer remains, upon the bruised heel (Genesis 3:15).

Yes, thank God, We woke up
