The devil's whisper.

*This writing is dedicated to my beloved Lisieux Music Ministry... as well as to anyone who is weary and discouraged right now.

As an Evangelical Concert is nearing
The devil also becomes more sneering
As the community hustle in their moving
the enemy fools them into believing --

That their voices and efforts are not enough,
That the way to go is very tough,
That they made the wrong choice when they said fiat,
That God is not with them in this combat,

That they are weak and have hearts so hard
That they are not worthy in this vineyard,
That God is not at work in all of this,
That God has left them all amiss.

In the midst of these whispers, they tremble
Oh, how true is the devil's mumble!
They find themselves weeping and afraid
Asking: Shall God come to our aid?

But there is a greater Voice, who comes
And with a gentle countenance, he hums

"Do not be afraid, I am with you,
I've been there longer than you ever knew

I picked you by hand, singled out among the rest
Because I want to use you for the very best
I brought you to this concert to fulfill a mission
To turn more souls from apathy to passion.

When you cast your fiat, I was with you
When you chose the songs, I guided you
I was with you when the script was written
And in your practices, I fondly listen

I said 'I will never forsake you,' and child, I mean it
I could care less if you see yourself unfit
You don't see it, my child, but I am here
All you have to do is let go of your fear.

If you only cast your burdens upon Me,
if you only trust Me and let it be,
Then my grace shall unfold and you will see
How I will use you for My greater glory.
