Good vs. Evil

In this life, there is a war,
But it’s not in flesh we fight;
A battle rages deep within 
Between the dark and light.

Evil lies within our world,
Tearing it apart,
Driving a wedge between the soul of man 
And God’s own heart.

Yet grace and goodness can be seen
In all that God has done;
A love stronger than bitter hate,
Sent down as God’s own son.

Evil is a sleeping cancer,
Deadly yet concealed;
So ruthless and so lethal,
That so few can be healed.

But goodness is a warming touch,
Soothing to the soul.
For all who will accept it 
Will surely be made whole.

Both sides are deep in battle,
And our souls are the prize;
Yet one fights for purity 
And the other wills demise.

So where are we in this battle?
Are we among the true?Are we the righteous, 
God’s dear sheep,
Or slaves to Satan’s ruse?

The Light will always overcome,
Even in the darkest place;
And if we only choose the Light,
We’ll see Jesus face to face.

The eternal victor’s obvious,
And the ending is so clear;
But we must fight against all evil,
For perfect love drives out fear.

Good and evil, both in pursuit 
For our eternal souls; We’re born with a choice-
To live or die, to fight for love or hate.

Evil’s time is running out,
For Satan’s end is near;
And all the horrors he has caused 
Will surely disappear.

And the goodwill yet prevail,
Standing ever still; And if we only choose it now,
One day we also will.

Beautiful. It touched my soul and rejuvenated my faith. Thank you for putting to pen the spiritual war that rages among us, around us and within us.
