Our Enemy Below
We all have but one enemy - it is Satan.
We think of him as being "below".
God is "above"  : Satan isn't!
That is what we actually know.

But our one enemy isn't just below, he
can be found any place that comes along.
Satan, of course, is urging us to forget about
Jesus  so we'll do things that are wrong.

A lie here and a lie there, throw in
some gossip for good measure.
These actions are from Satan,
they are Hell's kind of treasure.

He will not relent - especially when you are
feeling down and out, having a bad day.
So, don't forget, my friends, that's when
we need Jesus to block Satan's way.

Satan does not like it when we fight back
and won't do what he demands.
Let's keep Satan below - for Jesus has
saved us all by keeping God's commands.
