I have been bludgeoned
black and blue
oppressed
and called less

I surrendered my authority
to sin and to the world
and I became a punching bag

at some point I took a stand
I said
never again
will I be a victim
to this life
or anyone living it

and I have been so busy
defending myself
flinching at any movement
keep your hands up!
watch out for the sucker punch!
It’s coming, its just a matter of time!
People suck.

self.
you fight SO HARD to survive

But God you are my defender
you are justice
you are strength.

No one can compare
no one can overcome you
no one can beat you

not even me.
I am not the hero. You are.
It isn’t Victory without you.

We do not submit to the flesh because it has no authority, it is an empty tank of gas, it will take us no where.

Song: Lion and lamb (Bethel Music)
