To The Test

To the Test

by Holly Fisher

Casting shadows over the mind

   would be a tactic of fear.

My God will not leave me blind

   for my heart to His is sincere.

His glory must be upon this life

   for an attack of such proportion.

My faith shall not yield to tormented strife -

   my trust is placed with great caution.

I'll delight and claim His victory is mine

   when the darkness shows its fear.

For I know His light brightly shines

   and His angels armed are quite near!

Swords of holy ones will pierce the black night

   making way for his servant to grow.

Defeated, the enemy flees with fright

   no longer a deceptive friend, but a foe.

Alas the territory is mine for the taking

   For He has promised to lead me through.

He has prepared it for a great awakening,

   and new hearts he desires to deliver and pursue.

Hoping and desiring to walk in obedience

   Ready to serve and do as He leads.

Living and seeing His glory evidenced

   through lives changed is what I plead.

I rejoice in His promises soon to manifest

   and delight in giving thanksgiving.

For through darkness He has put me to the test

   so to be prepared for this life I am living!
