Sensory Overload

In a world with senses overloaded in every feasible way, we relate.
As we experience sensory overload, Satan seeks to captivate.
With media and other things, he opposes and exalts himself above God.
Master of his domain, daily through all means, he saturates.
Through this maze of propensities, opinions, and maxims, we walk.

In a world lying under Satan’s sway, we are easily led astray.
In a world gone wrong, how do we stay the narrow way?
With sensory overload, how do we resist the squeeze of the world?
With ears tuned to the Holy Spirit and God’s Holy Word, we trust.
With our guides, the Word and Spirit, we go forward without disgust.

As the kingdom of God takes hold, we are now under Kingdom influence.
Under the sway of the Lord Jesus, the world loses its dominance.
Yielded to God’s ways, our eyes now focus above with fervency and zeal.
With hearts set on things above, sensory overload loses its appeal.
The bondage of the world gives way to newfound freedom and liberty.

With vision and purpose, we’re filled with kingdom perception.
No longer captivated by Satan, weight lifted, without weariness, we run.
Free to mount up on the wings of an eagle, we soar to new heights.
Passion ignited, we thrust forth with zeal and fervency to new sights.
With senses renewed, fresh winds blow as we walk in newness.

As our two guides work together in harmony, we yield to their authority.
Never leading us astray, they lead, as we’re content to trust in their ability.
Taken deeper into our journey, we’re shown the wonders of the kingdom.
With dunamis power revealed, we stand in wonder with power revealed.
Standing in wonder with all God is doing, our hearts yield in submission.
