If I Believe the Lies

If I Believe the Lies, 11/5/09, D.C.Elliott (John 8:44)

he's a powerful enemy.
he's stronger than me.
he can hold me down
if i believe

I can't move, I can't breathe
I can't scream, can't even see
if I believe

He whispers defeat into my ear
He tells me there's no need to fear
If I just quit and give up my crown
and let this little light go down.

I see the choice in front of me.
The slave to sin or the captive free.
Surrender would be effortlessly....easy.

And then there in that moment
filled with full despair,
I remember. I remember.
What's that? Yes, I remember.
(chor.)

The devil speaks his native tongue and he believes his lies
He knows his song is sung but he can't recognize
The Power of the Love that lives so deep inside
of you and me and anyone who lives for Jesus Christ.

I find that time is now standing still.
I feel another here with me, a stronger will.
My Jesus breathes courage,
and my heart begins to fill.

The strength of my Redeemer
Floods into my mind.
The call to battle rings my ears
The light begins to shine.
(chor.)

The devil speaks his native tongue and he believes his lies
He knows his song is sung but he can't recognize
The Power of the Love that lives so deep inside
of you and me and anyone who lives for Jesus Christ.

I see the truth behind the lie of my enemy.
There is no power, no dominion over me.
Nothing but lies for him to spin.
I cannot fail if I choose to win.
The blood of Jesus rescues me.
His blood sets me free!


The devil speaks his native tongue and he believes his lies
He knows his song is sung but he can't recognize
The Power of the Love that lives so deep inside
of you and me and anyone who lives for Jesus Christ.

The blood of Jesus poured,
Now I belong to the Lord.
