Taking Back What The Devil Stole

[MIRIAM JACOB]

Taking Back What The Devil Stole

Isaiah 61


I am taking back what the devil stole

Every piece of my shattered soul

I am taking back my innocence, and everything

That was taken from me, as a child

I am exchanging my sorrow, for joy

My many tears for endless smiles



I am taking back what was ripped apart

Every broken piece of my wounded heart

I am replacing value, for my worthlessness

I am allowing God to restore

Hope, in exchange for my hopelessness



Satan you have stolen, destroyed

and tried to take me out

You have tormented me with your fear and doubt

But I stand in the LIGHT of Gods healing power

And know that I have been born, and purposed

For this day, this moment, and this hour



What Satan meant for my harm,

God intended for the good

Even though, a lot of what has happened to me

Cannot be understood

The scars on my arms only reflect

The indescribable pain in my soul and heart

But I will stand, waiting

Expecting and anticipating

God will do, miracle after miracle in me

And propel me into, all that He has

Purposed and destined for me to be



I am taking back, what Satan has destroyed

I am taking back my hope, my peace and my joy

I stood as a young girl, and helplessly watched

Satan tear away pieces of all that I was, and

Who God destined me to be

So now I wait, as God sends forth His WORD to heal

And I will allow His Truth to absorb me



Satan you tried to make me believe I was nothing,

But God has made me into something

You made me feel like an outcast, totally rejected

But God has welcomed me and called me His own

I am loved, cherished, and accepted



I am taking back everything that Satan has taken from me

All that was taken will be given back, doubly

God will give me a bouquet of roses,

In exchange for the ashes of my past

God will give me Joy, in exchange for the tears

Which for years, drowned my heart

God will give me praises, a new song to sing

He will restore, renew, heal and transform everything



I am taking back what the enemy stole

God will heal me and make me whole

I will trust that what He began in me, He will complete

What was, will be no more

And what is now, is what people will see



I will be a testimony, of how God can put

Together what was undone

I am a living Testimony of His

Amazing Grace, Mercy and Love

I will testify of how God replaced, healed,

Renewed and restored

All that I was, and how the girl I used to be,

is no more



I am determined to fight,

I am determined to testify

And tell the world about a God who gave me back

Everything that the enemy stole

About a God who gently, and so delicately

Healed and placed back together

Each and every piece of my

Wounded heart and shattered soul
