Ephesians 4:26-29     New English Translation

26 Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on the cause of your anger. 27 Do not give the devil an opportunity. 28 The one who steals must steal no longer; instead, he must labor, doing good with his own hands, so that he will have something to share with the one who has need. 29 You must let no unwholesome word come out of your mouth, but only what is beneficial for the building up the one in need that it would give grace to those who hear.

Let not a corrupt word proceed or let the sun go down on wrath.

Are we getting the idea? Where did we give place to the devil?

This really should shake us up, so every time our flesh is ruling

We lose more and more ground until judgment and the gavel

One will not escape from the whiles of the devil,

Although a child from God, you have to stand your ground

It has little to do with supposedly "falling" from Grace

For what God saves, He’ll keep as you are Heaven bound

Sin gives ground to a foothold, almost a degree of invitation

The amount of foothold gives the degree of the invasion

The value of the property gives a degree of determination

And the commitment of oneself the degree of degradation

To really see the scheme of one’s own persecution

It does not take a genius or lack of frustration

It is our self-will you see that brings pride to full inflation

As we sell our self cheap in a so-called godly nation
