Many people have struggled with the battle of life.
A lot of them think they are all alone in their strife.
Their problem is that are thinking on the wrong path,
They fear what each day brings and fear God's wrath.
Each day they live, it's a struggle to survive that day.
It's a battle to be filled full of joy and to remain that way!
It is a battle between Satan and his enemies, man!
If he could, he'd keep me from writing this very poem,
If he could, he'd take my very life, take me from my home.
He has tried that before, and came so dreadfully near!
For a while, the truth was kept too far away from me to hear,
Then I started seeking it, seeking love for a broken heart.
For years I had been blinded with an overwhelming shame,
Selfishness filled me, causing brokenness, anger and pain.
Satan overcame me and my life, until I had no hope at all.
I became so sick of hurting and on the Lord, I chose to call.
I found the cure to strife that I once thought was never ending,
I found all that's needed in life, which is the Lord and in Him I sing!
Instead of anger consuming my heart, in me joy has started to hum…
For I have found joy in the Lord for all the days to come!
