When the Enemy Pursues You

When the enemy pursues you,

Look to God.

When he frightens 

And confuses you,

And your emotions

Bruises you,

And tries to get

The best of you,

Let Jesus Christ

Give peace to you.

Since the Lord is always near you,

Trust His Word.

Let His Word dwell

In you richly as

You lean upon

His promises,

And don’t forget

His faithfulness,

His Word to you is

Holiness.

When the world around you leaves you,

Rest in God.

When they hate you

And forsake you,

And they even 

Try to bait you

Into doing 

What’s distasteful,

To your Lord

Then be ye grateful.
