Who Can Defeat Me?
Posted by | Filed under Poetry
This is an oldie, but I kind of like it.
Who Can Defeat Me?
If God is with me,
Then who can defeat me?
Not the world who plots my destruction.
Not peer pressure's demands,
Nor the slight of man's hand.
I'm invincible, so don't even try.
If God is with me,
Then who can defeat me?
Not Satan with hard threats of hell.
Not anger and revenge.
You see, God will avenge,
So there is no hope for those with black hearts.
If God is with me,
Then who can defeat me?
Not you, no matter how bitter you are.
You can't make me fret
God will save me yet,
So I'm not afraid of mere flesh.
If God is with me,
Then who can defeat me?
No one can harm my soul.
My body for a while,
But I'll take it with a smile,
And in the end
To heaven
I'll go.

I know it's before the song came out, but it reminds me a little of the Chris Tomlin song 'Our God', the bridge part where it says-
"And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?"
:D

It is kind of like that song. :) Chris Tomlin and I both took the wording from Romans 8:31, which says, "If God is for us, who can be against us?" :) I love it.
That poem was really really good :) You're a great writer!
