[Shai Linne - Cosmic Powers lyrics]
There’s a war going on outside
No man is safe from
You can run but you can’t hide forever
And most people don’t even
Know they’re in danger
They’ve been around a long time
They know human nature
Cosmic powers over this present darkness
Heartless with smartness
Targeting the narcissists
Their leader is Satan- the
Fowler with the snare
The Bible calls him the prince of
The power of the air
The lower case god of this
World- a reign of terror
Tempting people to make one
Of two major errors one is saying that he’s
Not responsible for anything
The other is saying that
He’s responsible for everything
So one part of the church
All they do is speak on him
The other part is just as bad
Because they sleep on him
So in light of 2 Corinthians 2: 11
I wrote this song and I’m
Addressing it to the brethren
The Devil’s lurking and he’s
Prowling in the night
Seeking whom he may devour on sight
He’s subtle and he’s clever
Full of malice and spite
He might even come as an angel of light
So how you gonna stand
Bro? How you gonna fight?
Be strong in the Lord and
The power of His might
How you gonna stand sis? How you gonna fight?
Be strong in the Lord and
The power of His might
This invisible war has a lot of effects
And Jude said show these
Dudes their proper respect
They operate powerfully, it’s deep fam
You gotta see the world
Flesh and devil form the
Three man camaraderie
Satan uses the world to
Tempt the sinful nature
The power of suggestion
That’s how they infiltrate ya
There’s no new magic- the
Tricks of our nemesis
Old school tactics depicted in Genesis
I guess if it ain’t broke
Then why try to fix it?
If the song is a hit
You ain’t gotta remix it
He makes the bait seem sweet
But always hides the hook
And His top priority is that we deny The Book
Tactic One: The Bible- keep
You from reading it
And if you’re reading it
He’ll try to keep you from believing it
If you’re believing it
He’ll try to keep you from obedience
Or speaking it
He’s got temptations for every season kid
Satan is the Tempter- he wants to abuse ya
After you sin
The Tempter becomes your Accuser
And Christians in the public eye
Here’s an important principle
You become more vulnerable the
More you’re visible
I mean come on, if Peter and David can fall
Doesn’t that need to be a wake
Up call for us all?
These powers are lethal, we’re feeble
Not equal so Jesus said pray that God
Would deliver us from evil
The Devil’s lurking and he’s
Prowling in the night
Seeking whom he may devour on sight
He’s subtle and he’s clever
Full of malice and spite
He might even come as an angel of light
So how you gonna stand
Bro? How you gonna fight?
Be strong in the Lord and
The power of His might
How you gonna stand sis? How you gonna fight?
Be strong in the Lord and
The power of His might
Man I really need longer than three verses
The serpent’s chief purpose must
Be to deceive churches
He wants to keep the Christians joy
And peace at a minimum
He’s always standing on one side
Ready to swing the pendulum
For those who minimize truth
He’ll burden them with heresies
For those who emphasize truth
He’ll turn them into Pharisees
One generation
He’ll tempt them to be legalists
The next generation
He’ll tempt them to be hedonists
One clear evidence the devil
Has done his business is when a church walks
In bitterness & unforgiveness
For those who pridefully act hard and tough
Satan will call your bluff- you’ll end
Up with scars and scuffs
So now that we’ve been convinced
How can we resist?
The key to this is found in Ephesians 6
14-18, it mentions seven keys
Heavenly necessities, precious remedies
It must first be said- that on the
Cross as Jesus hurt and bled
He was really crushing the serpent’s head
Through faith His perfection’s ours
His resurrection power
Will keep us from being devoured
In the deadly hour
Jesus modeled for us how we should do war
With the true sword
(the Word) , You can find it in Luke 4
The last thing to remember:
Jesus defeated Satan
So let us frequently seek the
Savior in secret prayer 'Cause
The Devil’s lurking and he’s
Prowling in the night
Seeking whom he may devour on sight
He’s subtle and he’s clever
Full of malice and spite
He might even come as an angel of light
So how you gonna stand
Bro? How you gonna fight?
Be strong in the Lord and
The power of His might
How you gonna stand sis? How you gonna fight?
Be strong in the Lord and
The power of His might
No man is safe from
You can run but you can’t hide forever
