SATAN HAS ASKED FOR YOU...

Satan has asked for you, Jesus told Pete.
He wants to shake up and sift you like wheat.
Job had the same thing dished out to him
When God boasted saying he was a man with no sin.

When Father God is in a parental mood
He often shouts praises in heaven
But sneaky Satan also hears what He says
And shouts back: I can still see leaven.

You go check it out, Father roars loud
Go test my child, I'll vouch for him now
Do what you will and you will soon see
My child will still love and honour Me

Satan then slinks to earth with a writ
But has a tight lease round his throat and his wrist
Onslaught he brings, but Father infuses
Strength for the trial and Satan then loses

So hang in there child, Satan can't do
Any more than Father gives him permission to
Each time you're tested just think of heaven
Where Father shows off His earth living children.

Your testing, your trial is a way you will know
That Father is pleased, but there's still dross to show
That the forming of Jesus in you's incomplete
The journey's not over, your dross needs the heat.

God was so pleased with Jesus His Son
He wanted more children like that perfect One
He uses the Devil to help with His cause
And through every trial He roots out our flaws.

Till pure and holy we slowly become
Through pain and temptation like Jesus the Son
Perfect children in glory God wants us to be
So He gives Satan rope to test you and me.
