I Survived You

There are a lot of spiritual truths in secular music. Clay Aiken's song "I Survived You" is more about a relationship gone bad ... but maybe that's a good description of a song we might sing to Satan at the end of this life. Our ability to survive his attacks against us is only found in Jesus Christ. The only person I read who is reminding us that we are at war is John Elderidge ... and for that I am thankful for his writings. We're not just trying to make it ... we're in a clash of the ages that will take our whole hearts redeemed by Jesus to find victory. I Survived You I see the picture clear now, the fog has lifted. The wool you tried to pull over my eyes was clever. Yeah you're gifted. But you forgot to dot some I's, and cross some T's along the way. I'm better now despite you baby. I'm stronger these days. Stronger. I survived the crash.Survived the burn. Survived the worst, yeah baby, but I learned. Survived the lies.Survived the blues. Almost killed me, but I survived the truth. And when you wrote me off like I was doomed. I survived you. I can look in the mirror now.It's been a slow awakening. Haunted by a heart full of you, couldn't help mistaking. That you could ever care for anyone.Anyone but yourself. Hey.But you would have to have a conscience baby. Good luck I wish you well. I survived the crash.Survived the burn. Survived the worst, yeah baby, but I learned. Survived the lies.Survived the blues. Almost killed me, but I survived the truth. And when you wrote me off like I was doomed. I survived you. This heart has been torn in two. Cut and bruised. With too many bitter endings. I'll be damned if I have thoughts of you Rain on my new beginning. I survived the crash.Survived the burn. Survived the worst, yeah baby, but I learned. Survived the lies.Survived the blues. Almost killed me, but I survived the truth. And when you wrote me off like I was doomed. I survived you.
