1 Peter 5:6-11
Dear Saviour, Satan seeks
to feed our foolish pride,–
we want God’s gifts, but from
humility we slide.
Watch, think, pray; alert every day
Satan is seeking to lead you astray.
And sometimes he is glad
to make you angry, fret,
not cast your care on Christ, –
God’s power and love forget.
He lulls us into sleep,
and quietly prowls around.
You may not hear him creep,
– he strikes with little sound.
He likes to make us fear;
but firm in faith let’s stand:
God helps his church world-wide
by his almighty hand.
So don’t forget God’s grace,
his purpose and his power.
Don’t panic, but keep watch
for danger hour by hour.
