V6

[Intro] Yeah. Stop pointing fingers at the dark. Look in the mirror. The battle's in the mind. [Verse 1] You slide into the trap, then you cry out "Satan's strong!" But James 1:14 says you've been dragging yourself along Lured by your own desire, enticed by your own lust Then we blame the fallen angel for the choices that we trust (chuckles) Stop giving him the credit, stop building up his name When Jesus Christ already broke his power and his chain Colossians 2:15, He made a public spectacle of dread The enemy is conquered—so why's he living in your head? We paint ourselves the victim of a heavyweight attack But it's our own flesh holding the match behind our back The devil didn't make you click, he didn't make you say The bitter words that poison everything along your way Take some ownership, look at the compromise you made You walked into the fire, now you're cursing at the shade [Chorus] Stop blaming the devil for the wars inside your chest The Savior already put the ancient foe to rest Take captive every thought, bring it straight to Jesus' feet The armor's already yours, the victory is complete Stand on the Word, renew your mind today The enemy has fled—now walk the narrow way [Verse 2] 1 Corinthians 10:13, write it deep upon your soul No temptation has overtaken you beyond control God is faithful, He won't let you pass what you can bear With every single trial, the escape is already there But you gotta choose the exit, gotta turn and run You can't flirt with the shadow then complain about the sun We build a little stronghold, we let a whisper stay Then wonder why our peace is slowly stripping away 2 Corinthians 10:5, demolish every high pretension Take every thought captive to His holy intervention Submit yourself to God, James 4:7 makes it clear Resist the devil's whispers and he'll pack up out of here He's got no authority unless you hand him the keys Stop bowing to a shadow when you're already on your knees [Chorus] Stop blaming the devil for the wars inside your chest The Savior already put the ancient foe to rest Take captive every thought, bring it straight to Jesus' feet The armor's already yours, the victory is complete Stand on the Word, renew your mind today The enemy has fled—now walk the narrow way [Bridge] Yeah, the lies will come back, the old whispers will try And you might stumble hard, look the truth in the eye But stumbling ain't surrendering, a fall ain't the end Get up, repent, let the broken heart mend He gives more grace to the humble and weak His strength is made perfect in the truths that we speak [Verse 3] So put away the excuses, let the finger-pointing stop The victory was finished at the skull on Golgotha's top You've got the Holy Spirit, you've got the living Sword You ain't a helpless captive to a defeated lord Renew the mind, wash it in the truth of the page Stand firm in the freedom of the redeemed age He provides the escape, He provides the power to stand Stop blaming the devil—and take the Savior's hand [Outro] Yeah. No more excuses. Submit to God. Resist the enemy, and he will flee. Stand on the Word. Amen.
