Resist, Reject, Repel



Resist temptations if you've got
The silent enemy
Within your mind which is a lot
And is quite unfriendly.

Resist that inner critic who
Destroys your hope and then
Will put down all the things you do
And step on you again.

Repel the thoughts that don't reflect
God's love for everyone,
Which you will find if you inspect
The words of God's own Son.
