Excited to Satan

Do you ever get happy when the devil comes around
When he starts to test your faith to see if fear can be found
I REALLY get excited when he tries to attack
Because it lets me know that I’m on the right track

If you really think about it, he starts to bother you
The moment you tell the Lord, THIS is what I’ll do
A double-minded man receives nothing from the Lord
You were no threat to Satan, you were getting no reward

Satan was real proud, you were playing on his team
Not because you didn’t love God, but you refused to go get your dream
There was no need to trick you or try to trip you up
Forget about running over, you didn’t even have a CUP

But as soon as you said, Lord I’m standing on your Word
The trials, tribulations and temptations occurred
You heard a word from God and plenty more after that
You started to believe and recognized those words as facts

Your faith had taken over, you were strong, you were bold
You even learned your seeds could be returned a hundred-fold
You said I’m STANDING on this Word, there’s no stopping ME now
You were getting your inheritance, not even WORRIED about how

Then all of a sudden you stopped dead in your tracks
Things started to go wrong, Satan began his attacks
Temptations started coming you didn’t even know where there
Your faith began to fail, you were left with just despair

You gave up on your dreams, you thought the Word was a mistake
You looked at your surroundings, thinking real instead of fake
Satan slapped you all around, gave you heartache, gave you hell
He pushed on you and pulled on you until you gave up and fell

But the beauty of the Lord is that you get another chance
You can get another Word, calling for another stance
And eventually you’ll get it, you’ll see it for what it is
You’ll realize the battle is NOT yours, the battle is really His

Slowly but surely I’m learning, and picking up on the signs
I’m learning how not to stumble, how to claim what’s mines
I know that God has blessed me with everything that I’ve prayed
And the journey I’ll take to get there, has already been paved

So no matter what it looks like, or WHO steps in MY way
My eyes are on the Word of God and that is where they’ll stay
Even if I can’t see it, while other things come to light
I don’t care what’s in front of me, I don’t walk by sight

Now some things might look good to me, be packaged up real nice
Be wrapped in such a pretty bow, MOST people would look twice
But I stay focused, looking forward, eyes are on the prize
When I look at what’s in front of me, it’s not with natural eyes

That’s why I get excited when Satan tries to wreck my plan
That means I’m THAT much closer to my Savior’s outstretched hand
There’s no need for me to worry just cause Satan threw a stone
He knows that it can’t hurt me, I don’t stand here on my own

Angels are encamped around me and God is in my heart
The devil lost this battle, LONG before the start
My future is so clear and it’s one to be enjoyed
The Word of God has left the throne, it CANNOT return void

So if God gives YOU a Word, you can move or you can stay
You can let the devil get to you, or stand and watch him play
My suggestion is very simple, just start to celebrate
Get ecstatic that he hates you, that means you’re something great

That means you are a threat your dreams are starting to manifest
And others will begin to wonder how can THEY be blessed
And that’ll REALLY tick off the devil, what now, you saving souls
And telling them since they’re saved, they can TOO accomplish goals

Na’ll I don’t think he’ll like that very much, but OH WELL!
We don’t care what HE thinks, it’s in GOD’S love we dwell
There’s absolutely NOTHING he can do to keep your dreams from coming true
If God said so then it IS so, now the rest, is up to you
