My Worst Enemy

Who is this foe,
So bent to destroy me?
It works to my woe,
In sin to employ me.
The struggle it causes
Each day of my life,
Without many pauses
For ending the strife.

I now have a Sword
Which comes from above.
It’s God’s written word,
He sent with His love.
With all of God’s armor,
And Heaven’s rich wealth,
I am able to conquer
My worst enemy, “self.”
