The Lies

The enemy comes to me
And tells me that my God is far away...
That He is hidden,
That He doesn't care...

Yes, that enemy whispers lies about my God into my ear
Trying to convince me
That my God is not good
That He is withholding His love
Because of this and that...

And then that liar changes his tune
And says, if I do this and that...
God will come through for me.
And if I don't eat or drink this...
God will come through for me.
Or if I go here or there
He will be accessible...

But it's all a lie...

Because my God is already here...
He is wrapped around me
Even though I cannot see...
Even though I can't feel Him.
He is already holding me tight and true
Because I am His...

He knows it all...
He knows my mess, my past, my present
He knows my thoughts at this very moment...
And His love doesn't change.
Always and forever
His love remains abundantly, magnificently more
Than I can imagine or comprehend...

The truth puts a new song in my heart...
It allows me to see the new day arising...
And praise begins to bubble up!
