Their God calls them
To be a light on a hill, shinning in the darkness
Their Savior desires that all will know
They are Christians by their love
What’s a devil to do
To get the focus off of Christ?
Let’s use their natural sinful tendencies
Put the focus on themselves
Unforgiveness, you sow seeds of hurt
Bitterness, you come alongside and nurse a grudge
Before long anger and resentment
Will be able to slip in unnoticed
Gossip, your assignment is to loosen tongues
May the sparks of slander spread to all who have an ear to hear
Cause them to forget that their Savior died
And has forgiven the very one they won’t forgive
Their prayers will be rendered ineffective
When they are distracted by their feelings, instead of focused on God
My fellow demons, may the saint’s love for God
And for the brethren be rendered impotent
Sow the seeds of discord
That we may soon reap the fruit of division

For I am afraid that when I come I may not find you as I want you to be, and you may not find me as you want me to be. I fear that there may be discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder. – 1 Corinthians 12:20
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. – Colossians 3:12-14
