So Long, Shame

Shame tries hard to get the best of me

Hiding in the shadows of my insecurity

Shouting insults and threats at my identity

Playing mind games with my sanity

But I’m a child of God you see

And shame no longer has authority

In my head, my heart, or any part of me

Because condemnation is from the enemy

From sin and shame, I have been set free

To love and trust my God completely

So, father of lies, get away from me

In the name of Jesus, you must flee

No more wrestling with shame in obscurity

The light of God’s truth will forever be

My steadfast hope and victory

Over shame or any other tactic of the enemy

“If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
