The enemy is cunning,
The devil is so wise
For years he's practiced breathing
His death provoking lies
He makes your fight look easy
He makes you feel so strong
And keeps your eyes from seeing
The deadly road you're on
For if you knew the peril
The mortal doom you face
Then you would turn your heart to God
And run the faithful race
But he keeps you from thinking
There's danger in your sin
And that is why a heart at ease
Is satan's closest kin
He keeps the mind distracted
On every little thing
For if we don't see past the world
We're his eternally
He tells you to do lots of things
He keeps you busy working
So you won't have the time to see
That danger's closely lurking
The people of this nation
I wish that they could see
The danger in their virtue
Of productivity
It makes you feel so righteous
Or takes your mind off pain
But if you make it everything
You'll find you're just like Cain
It's not the work of your own hands
That makes your gift God's pleasure
It's faith that sees beyond the world
That makes your gift a treasure
Be free from Cain; have faith like Abel
For this is victory
The devil says your gift is good,
But God sees underneath
He sees right past the gift you give
Into your very heart
By faith we overcome the world
For God has Satan barred
"By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God commending him by accepting his gifts." - Hebrews 11:4
