         Did some google investigations! Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see you on the blog again. Here you go:

         Dear Satan,

         I’m writing you this letter to inform you that our relationship is officially done.

         You just lost one!

         Cause for too long I’ve battled in my mind

         Your voice v. God’s v. mine

         For too long I’ve entertained the same thoughts as Cain

         Like how truthfully my flesh loves to be first

         How my pride tries to cover and hide so I can’t see the extent of this curse

         So I’m returning all your gifts

         Rejecting all your myths

         See all this time I thought that I had control, but you were controlling this

         Despite me doing good works in the church

         Thinking I was a Christian

         All the while allowed your spirit to lurk

         What a deception

         You went to church with me

         A thwarted perception

         Saying that I love God louder and louder

         But had a spiritual infection

         I see you’re a deceiver; you take advantage of every weak part

         I could come to church every week

         As long as I don’t apply the word to my heart

         We were friends because I did what you wanted me to

         I thought a little sin wouldn’t hurt

         I mean I didn’t want to sleep with you

         I just thought it would be cool to flirt

         But I see you play for keeps

         Now I know that the Word is true

         What you sow is what you reap

         I keep saying I’m so blessed, I’m so blessed

         All the while secretly giving you a kiss

         I remember all the places we used to go

         Now inwardly it makes me sick

         Like how you talked me into going to the club

         At first I really didn’t want to go

         I thought it wouldn’t affect me

         But while I was there my lust began to flare and I got hot and heavy

         Started thinking about the dudes in the room

         Wanting to ride off in their Chevy

         Or the comedy spots where we sat and laughed enjoying ourselves all night

         When they were joking and mocking the church like that situation is light

         And explicit sexual content echoed through that mic

         And I laughed like it was alright

         Now I know God wasn’t laughing

         Even though you and I was on a roll

         I see it was because my heart was so numb and cold

         In the back of my mind

         I thought I’d really give God 100% when I’m old

         Once I’m done having my fun

         Then I thought what if I don’t make it past 25, then what?

         What did I live for?

         I just can’t ignore anymore this proposal from the Lord

         So I changed my number so you would no longer call

         And I would no longer fall

         But even though I did all that you still controlled me from afar

         Because I was just trying to be a better person

         Stopped clubbing, stopped sex, stopped cursing

         Dropped friends, cause of greed stopped working

         But stopping things don’t rid the seed of the serpent

         It was all self-righteousness

         A righteousness I created

         It’s like using filthy rags to take a bath

         When the truth is my entire sin nature is bad

         And me stopping those things never dealt with the wickedness of my heart

         If I thought someone did me wrong

         I was so quick to lash back, all the while singing a praise song

         Even though the Bible says repay not evil for evil, I refused to believe

         And your strings got me doing things that I can’t even help

         Trying to love my brother but always thinking about myself

         What a curse

         Like I could run up and hug someone at church

         But because inwardly I wanted to be first

         Didn’t realize it but I was wishing them the worst

         Although the outside was clean

         The inside of the cup was filthy and mean

         So I wrestled with the conclusion

         Maybe I’ve been excluded from being able to live this Christian life

         But then that sounds like your voice

         You’ve influenced so much of my life

         Those events help me see how powerless I am

         And the reality is there is only one way

         And before I was set free, I had to realize I was a slave

         I have no merit, virtue or favor with God

         It’s Christ’ poured out lifeblood that saves

         And I’m sick of it, my sin

         I’ve defended it, time and time again

         Dead in my transgression but now I’ve come on out of the grave

         Because this new relationship is based solely by grace through faith

         And my life is a result of what I believe

         Since you shall know a tree by the root and the fruit

         So rather than just dress modestly, I’m checking my heart too

         Making sure there is no vanity

         Or that I’m dressing to grab the attention of humanity

         Because I know what I can do, if I remain in a relationship with you

         My potential outside of Christ is extremely detrimental

         So I’m clinging on with all I’ve got

         So now when I think of all the movies we went to

         Man I get so hot

         Cause Christ has won my heart

         I can’t sit there and glory in the violence on that screen

         And even though I used to justify by saying I never hurt anyone

         I was being entertained by the very thing

         God choose to destroy the world for in Genesis 6

         He said the earth was corrupt and filled with violence

         So the only reason I wasn’t destroyed

         Was God’s kindness

         You see you helped me build a tower like you did with Nimrod

         But I’m tearing it down for my God

         By the way I’m clearing out my ipod

         I’m giving you back all your music

         Couldn’t see it before

         This tool you were using

         Different song

         Different score

         Brought the same conclusion

         All about lust, money, self and sex

         Yet those things are the reason Christ was out to death

         Who you using next

         Chris Brown, T-pain, souljah boy, ne-yo, Beyonce or Game?

         Every artist motivation is the same

         To take my heart away from the reason Christ came

         I could say I’m saved all the while exalting men

         Not a fanatic for Christ cause I’m a TI fan

         No-one no-one, not even Alicia keys supersedes the reason Christ bleeds

         No-one no-one has even ever heard Alicia sing about why Christ is grieved

         And I thought her music was positive

         But when I look into the word, Christ and Alicia are opposites

         Christ is on my mind

         So you won’t see me bobbing it

         Because He’s all I need

         He is all I need

         Cause all that music was to glorify me

         Yet the reason Christ came was to mortify me

         To crucify my flesh

         Not to be the Christian in Christian-Dior up in the video with Kanye West

         Now I see

         How he’s saying he’s Christian yet he’s exalting women, sex, and greed

         And I said I was just listening to the beats

         You had me so blind to the content

         I was so deceived

         Didn’t realized Satan disguised as I was hitting repeat

         At the same time they were pushing repeat when my savior was beat

         Pierced in His wrist and feet

         To take away these worldly lusts these songs stir within me

         So I confess

         I’m no longer impressed with you whack lines

         You’ll give me all your kingdoms if I bow and worship at your shrine

         And I used to

         But now I’m adopted into the vine

         So every lie you told me

         Like you being my homie

         That I could rep Christ as long as we kicked it on the low key

         I’m done with you and all the excuses you gave

         Like living holy is a long process

         But the truth is, you didn’t want me to change

         I used to be a daughter of lies

         You used to be my master

         But now I’m at the feet of Christ with me box of alabaster

         Because He redeemed me, set me free

         And I will spend my time, all of eternity

         Learning Him

         Wiping His feet with my tears

         Oh well, there will be no tears in heaven

         But I will sit and give Him reverence

         Because I know I’m undeserving of His love

         See I’m now covered in the blood of the Son

         So in case you forgot

         I’m writing this letter to inform you that our relationship is officially done,

         You just lost one!
