Why fight the same old battles
Each hour, each day, each year,
Failing to capture every thought
When God's Word is so clear?
We fail to use our weapon,
The one used by our Lord,
Responding to all Satan's darts,
Quoting God's Word--our Sword.
Failing to capture every thought,
We find on lies we nurse,
Each negative that's thrown our way,
Replace with Truth--a verse.
It's in our pow'r to change our thoughts--
The battle of the mind,
Replacing lies with Truth of God,
The enemy we bind.
It's really not so difficult,
God's promises...our base,
The doubts, the fears, anxieties
We simply then displace.
God's told us what to dwell on,
To wallow we then sin,
We learn that we can live in peace
Not where we've always been.
"We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." (II Corinthians 10:5 NIV)
"Finally, believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God's word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things (center your mind on them, and implant them in your heart." (Philippians 4:8 Amplified)
