Enemy Plans

 

Who is our foe

How does he look

His strategies are written

In only one book

 

He comes in subtly

He comes in the night

He comes when you least

Expect a fight

 

Sometimes he’s an angel

Sometimes he’s a man

Who can discern him

The Holy Ghost can

 

He sends to you anger

He sends to you lust

He sends to you doubts

In the one whom you trust

 

He always secludes you

Wants to get you alone

Must steal you away

From the one on the throne

 

Compromise he whispers

No one will know

It’s such a small thing

You’ll not reap what you sow

 

There’s one way to fight him

One place to go

Only on your knees

Can you defeat this foe

 

So fall on your face

Repent of your sins

Run to the one

Who can cause you to win

 

Or you could choose to stay

In the enemy’s plan

But he has only one goal

For the end of man
