The biggest fight of the century
Is one I never thought I would see
No it’s not Tyson or Frazier
Not Spinks or Muhammad Ali
The greatest battle I’ve ever witnessed
Is being fought inside every single day
Between me and who I once was
In both spiritual and physical ways
What an odd opponent
She was my ex-lifelong best friend
Until God began to transform my life
Inside out instead of outside in
I thought she really loved me
She’d been there through it all
Until His peace and love began to shine
Then I saw her as my greatest downfall
Lean not to your own understanding
I used to hear her say
It sounded really good when she said it
Until I no longer allowed her to lead the way
Obituary now has been written
Over three or four years ago
Still she stayed around and lingered
Though outwardly often she didn’t show
The final nail in her coffin
Has be tightly sealed permanently shut
Not because of hatred or fear of retaliation
But to prevent her constant desire to rebut
She led me into so many situations
That were meant to take away my life
Willfully walking towards eternal damnation
If not for my Savior Jesus the Christ
Walking boldly now even while shaken
Somewhat broken-hearted yet glad to be free
After finally winning this long fought battle
Between who they see and who God says I’ll be
Can’t keep calm as the next battle continues
satans battle for my soul will not stop
So I’ll continue boldly declaring God’s goodness
As my lifelong proverbial mic drop🎤
