RISE ABOVE IT ALL<\/p>\n

It is a wonderful feeling,
\nTo know God is in control,
\nWhile Satan tries to bury us,
\nAnd throw us in some hole.<\/p>\n

So many are our battles,
\nOur afflictions are not few,
\nIf it were not for Jesus,
\nWe wouldn’t know what to do.<\/p>\n

But the Lord is ever present,
\nWith His help we stand tall,
\nDespite the Devil’s devices,
\nWe can rise above it all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
