Overcome The World
Have you been talked about, lied about
Slandered more than just a bit
You better have your Faith Shield up
Because Jesus said to expect it
If you are going to walk close with Jesus
Don’t think life will be a breeze
You’re going to have lots of opportunities
That will bring you to your knees
[Chorus]
They hated him without a cause
They resented him – you see
The light in him exposed the darkness
They could not bear to see
You’re not greater than The Master
But you have been Chosen- Called out by him
The light in you does the same thing
As the light it did in him
Brace yourself brother and sister
The attacks are going to come
But he’s got your back and he feels the attack
It’s a personal thing – with a personal payback
[Chorus]
They hated him without a cause
They resented him – you see
The light in him exposed the darkness
They could not bear to see
You’re not greater than The Master
But you have been Chosen- Called out by him
The light in you does the same thing
As the light it did in him
Pray for your accusers
Like Jesus said to do
Keep your heart soft by forgiving them
That falsely accuse you
You’ll find that Jesus will give you wisdom
On how to deal with them
And Grace to Overcome The World
Just like it did in him
If you keep your eyes on Jesus
And forgiveness stays intact
You’ll find your spiritual backbone
Getting stronger after each attack
[Chorus]
They hated him without a cause
They resented him – you see
The light in him exposed the darkness
They could not bear to see
You’re not greater than The Master
But you have been Chosen- Called out by him
The light in you does the same thing
As the light it did in him
You don’t have to defend your reputation
For he will do that – In His Time
You just keep walking with Jesus
Overcoming The World – One attack at a time
