THE CONVERSATION
The devil sits on one side screaming in my ear While Jesus on the other side says I am always
near Satan takes his pitch fork and pokes it at my pride
But my Savior simply smiles and says I am on your side
The demon shows me my mistakes and says you’ll always fall He says the word of God is big
and you are just too small He tells me there’s no reason to join the mighty fight
The standards are too high now you know that I am right
He says the Lord does not expect for you to always win There’s really nothing wrong if it’s just a little sin This is not bait it’s just the truth you’re nothing but a man You've got the time to fix it you can later take a stand/p>
But my Lord says this is his word it’s simple and it’s true
Just read and learn and walk in faith that’s all you have to do
Get on your knees you must confess you know that you were wrong
Then you can take your place by me that is where you belong/p>
I've paid your price I've bought your sins I know not what they are
Do you know I caught your every tear and put them in a jar
So walk with me and keep the devil trapped beneath your feet
I’ll call you mine you’ll be a saint your name will be elite/p>
My savior says you are redeemed no matter what the cost
So now you know the Devil fights a war he’s already lost./p>

About the Book
Have you ever found it difficult to put your faith into words? Have you ever been inspired by a message from church or a scripture you've heard or read, but you just didn't know how to put your reaction into words? If your answer is yes, then welcome to my world! I've found myself in these positions a number of times. So what do I fall upon when I’m in this position? Poetry. And many of those results are in this book.
The Conversation is meant to be inspiring, as it was inspired by the Holy Spirit, it’s entertaining, and it is even—at times—humorous. So go ahead, check it out. I pray you will be provoked to examine your walk with God and strengthen your relationship with the Savior. God bless and be blessed.
