- We are not each other's enemy- set to "Malang"
My love, remember this truth and passion that was never hidden
How we would withstand, together, this world's blows and opposition
Yet we must wonder: Could we still withstand
The blows that will come from our own hearts and hands?
For though our love together and unity is blessed
Not all outside us is cruel and imperfect
We do not stand only against the world and its sins
But also, we must beware of the enemy within
This enemy is not to be found in either of our souls
Still, a traitor with power works within our stronghold
Heaven's pure fire we must use to purge and to cleanse
And not with hired, foreign swords of hate to avenge
The foe within is an ally of the world without
A hidden enemy disguised; a counselor of doubt
And if it does not succeed in our love to conquer and captivate
It will try to drive us into prisons of fear and of hate
It will whisper crafty words to blind us with seeded hate
That when strength fails, love is silenced; the heart, encased
Or else release the long nurtured armies of spite
To subdue the other heart; to enforce the self's right
Selah
How strong love is and at times painful, its fire!
Cleansing us of our entitlements and our selfish desires!
O Father, in Your grace, let love's strength arise!
Tearing apart sin's chains and freeing us from pride
Though we fall seven times because of the traitor within
Yet seven times will grace lift us to rise again
Pride is a blindness that causes me to stumble
I surrender my crown; for You give grace to the humble
My love
No boast or flattery shall deceive my tongue
Could you continue on when all seems dark and done?
My love, let us remain strong and not lose sight of His face
For all needs and answers will fall into place
Let us pledge to each other
To carry on His banner
That when one of us looses focus
Faith will stand for the hopeless
Doom will destine to be the end of our song
If we assume our strength will protect us from these wrongs
Yet there is hope! For within the Father dwells
And His grace is greater than all the joined forces of hell
Father, let love arise and overwhelm our souls
Healing our sight to see what is more precious than gold
For though grace is here, there will still be tears
But because grace is here, we can fight and not fear
To win these battles is to surrender ourselves to the King
To embrace what is promised and not
what is seemed
Humility will not be wasted; nor the seed truly lost
Let love sacrifice, and arise!
For its fruits are greater than its cost!
Yes, may we withstand the world; our enemy without
And even more the enemy within who works lust, pride, and doubt
My love, may the Father help us to see and remember
The true enemy we must fight; that seeks us to sever
It wars within our frame
And speaks against the Father's name
It is not our friend nor should be our trust
It is a traitor; a doom; a bane
O may the Father's saving mercy and forgiveness be with us
When we forget and become blind; striving for our lust
May heaven's pure fire be our deliverance to cleanse
Out the traitor from each of us that seeks our love to end
Love is not achieved
When fulfilled by pride's words
Fruits will be reaped
When my life is laid down to serve
Let love arise and its strength take hold!
Laying down all foreign walls and self's strongholds
Let humility spring forth and revelation begin
My love, we are not each others' enemy
The enemy resides within
Blessed be the Lord our Rock, who trains our hands for war
And our fingers for battle!
Let love arise and overcome!
