No matter how secure we are in Father, Son and Spirit,
We're still prey to the "prowling lion", so watch for him and fear it.
Evil's always waiting to devour people who believe
And if our eyes aren't steadily fixed, this goal, he will achieve.

His working are so suble within the minds of man,
Stealing our concentration from God's most perfect plan.
A problem, or a worry, or a ghost from times gone by,
All serve to gain attention and turn our gaze awry.

It's like trying to drive a car, but only looking side to side.
Without watching where we're going, with some obstacle we'll collide.
Or looking in the rear-view mirror and not the road ahead,
We'll end up not where we were heading, but up a tree, instead.

God promised perfect  peace, when upon Him our minds are stayed
And believing in "appearances" is not the message He conveyed.
You'll know when you are seemin them, if something in concerning,
For that's not from oiur Lord and God.  So learn to be discerning.

Anything that takes away the peace of mind we feel,
Is the lion moving in on us with cumming, stealth and zeal.
So quickly turn your mind and heart from things that seem to be
And focus on the Lord, who always sets His people free.
