0 DON'T BE FOOLED

I THOUGHT I HAD IT ALL TOGETHER AND THE devil KNOCKED ME OUT.
I THOUGHT I KNEW HOW TO SEEK THE LORD AND WHAT SERVIN HIM WAS ALL ABOUT.

HE CLEANED ME UP AND GAVE ME BACK THE THINGS I LOST AND MORE.
IF WE WERE HIM WE WOULD HAVE THOUGHT, WHAT DID I DO THAT FOR?

BUT NOT MY GOD, MY LORD AND SAVIOR, THE LOVER OF MY SOUL.
HE GIVES US GRACE TIME AFTER TIME, HE WANTS TO MAKE US WHOLE.

HE IS FAITHFUL, HE IS JUST, EVEN WHEN WE'RE NOT.
OFTEN TIMES WE FORGET EXACTLY WHAT WE'VE GOT.

DON'T LET THE ENEMY FOOL YOU SAINTS, HE WANTS YOUR VERY LIFE.
HE'LL USE YOUR CHILDREN, USE YOUR PARENTS, YOUR HUSBAND OR YOUR WIFE.

AND HE'LL COME AT YOU FROM THE BACK IN AREAS YOU'RE NOT STRONG.
HE'LL BEAT YOU UP, RUIN YOUR LIFE, OH YEA HE'LL DO YOU WRONG.

AND ONCE HE'S GOT US DOWN TO THE GROUND, HE USES GUILT AND SHAME.
AND WE FORGET THE POWER WE HAVE BY FIGHTING IN JESUS NAME.

SO DON'T BE FOOLED, ARM YOURSELF EACH AND EVERY DAY.
EVANGELIZE, STICK TO THE WORD, AND WE REALLY HAVE TO PRAY.

I STAND UP HERE AND SAY THIS TO YOU BECAUSE JESUS BROUGHT ME BACK.
AND HE'S STILL DEALING WITH ME IN SO MANY AREAS I LACK.

I HATE THE devil, BUT EVEN MORE, I HATE HE TRICKED ME SO.
HE BEAT ME DOWN SO FAR TO THE GROUND, MY FLESH JUST WOULDN'T SAY NO.

MY HEARTS DESIRE IS TO SERVE THE LORD WITH EVERY BREATH I TAKE.
TO KEEP THINGS REAL WITH INTEGRITY, AND NEVER, EVER FAKE.

WE ALL FALL DOWN BUT WE MUST GET UP AND CONTINUE RUNNING THIS RACE.
UNTIL WE MEET OUR SAVIOR, STANDING FACE TO FACE.
