One step forward, two back,
Discouragement steps in.
The enemy's there launching attack,
Reminding you of your sin.
...
Can you ignore this truth,
When it is waved before your face?
Your life is living proof.
You writhe in the bog of disgrace.
...
"You are stuck, there's no way out",
The enemy smirks and lies.
A spark of light within, it shouts,
"Look up, your Savior dies!"
...
A cross, a storm, the world goes black.
Has Satan actually won?
A trumpet sounds, the dark melts back.
Here comes the King, God's only son!
...
An eternal inheritance He freely gives,
A choice of joy or despair.
I look at both, I choose to live.
Now He will guide me with loving care.
