The Overcomers

Everyone's life is filled with strife
and pain that seems to numb him;
God tells us we have an enemy
and we can overcome him.
It seems the world is full of sadness,
overrun by sin.
Why not? God says there's an enemy--
So let the fight begin!

The enemy is apathy
when I should walk in love,
and I defeat that enemy
with power from above.

The enemy's timidity,
the enemy is fear.
I can defeat that enemy
when I know God is near.

The enemy's discouragement
that eats away my heart;
but I remember I am God's
and Satan has no part

When the enemy brings sickness
it seems that I must yield,
but I know that Jesus bore it all
and by His stripes I'm healed.

The enemy is poverty;
it steals my joy for living.
I defeat that enemy
when I take God's word in giving.

The enemy is selfishness,
the enemy is sin.
I've overcome that enemy
for I've let Jesus in.

So if your life is full of strife
and pain that seems to numb you,
remember, Jesus won the victory.
The enemy can't overcome you.
The world may seem confusing
and hard to find your way,
but you overcome every enemy
when you walk with Jesus each day.
