In Newness of Life

Lord may I never let a sinful thought, ever make me pause,
So the devil can step in, thinking I support his cause,
For sin is Satan's meat and potatoes, always his favorite meal,
As long as I am on this earth, he'll see how much of me he can steal,
Though he can not have my soul, he tries to damage my witness every day,
So I have to be vigilant and faithful, always walking in God's Way,
But if I open up just a crack, Satan will step through the door,
Reminding me of my past, things I don't partake of anymore,
And sometimes I realize, just how human I can be,
Satan needs to accept the fact, that saved and sanctified is the new me,
I am mighty in the Lord, not a sinner who is weak,
And my past is not my future, as long as it is Jesus that I seek.
