Tethered to a monster on the day of light
Always it will try to steal your fight
With you as a shadow until death
When you greet eternity at last breath
At first it is wild as a feral dog
Favoring attack and forgoing dialogue
Ripping and enticing, then running away
Assaults and temptations coming night or day
Further you grow and longer you walk
Truth is your guide, leaning on the Rock
Learning the roads protected from the beast
Serving the King by being the least
But the monster learns and grows as well
Refining its methods, your doubt it can smell
Forgoing the wild, brazen onslaught
Focused and precise like a sniper's gunshot
Putting on the armor that shores up holes
Learning how to operate life's controls
Sharing the light that has grown within
Gaining wisdom to choose right over sin
The enemy now skilled as any lawyer
Just needing words to be a destroyer
Showing you your failure and weakness
Requiring nothing but unending bleakness
The enemies most deadly and desperate skin
But you can now tap the power within
The cleansing and pure Spirit of God
The Flesh defeated, His salvation we'll laud
