I am your Child
Location
Christians new
And Christians old
Deal and have dealt
With vile untold.
Drugs in school.
Kids smoking young.
Oh, the things some do
Just to have “fun.”
Junk on tv
Even worse in books
Filth all around
Wherever we look.
We fight it at work.
We fight it at school.
In a fallen world
It’s a given rule.
We learn to place
Satan’s war cry.
We either steer clear
Or stand up and fight.
But there are times
When Satan creeps in.
We feel given no choice.
Evil scores a win.
Now we feel dirty,
Lost and confused.
Stuck with this knowledge,
Mentally abused.
Having done so well
At getting out of our shell,
We sink back in
Where we used to dwell.
Presence recedes.
Eyes lose light.
Words lose meaning.
Voice becomes slight.
But we must remember
We fight not alone.
Christ stands beside us
Our heart to atone.
He’ll free us from guilt.
He’ll guide us when lost.
He’ll clean up our filth
And teach us the cost.
He’ll cleanse our heart.
He’ll help us through.
We’ll fight for others
So they don’t lose, too.
Please, God, help me remember
Whatever comes my way
I am Your child
Come what may!
