Christ In Me

The Devil strikes at You in me
     Where You create, redeem.      
He hates the virtue he can see,
     For You have made me clean.

He tries to earthly glory seek
     By making me his own;                                      
But earthly glory foul will reek—
     Is weed that won’t be grown.

For in me You have sown Your crop
     That weeds will not choke out,
As Spirit’s rain will on me drop
     To cleanse me of my doubt.

Your truth will always shine through me,
     A mirror now made clean,
So You through me they all can see
     That I have been redeemed.
