Created in His image

Why don’t we walk in authority?

Man was created

In His image

Male and female

Made a little lower

Than the angels

Given power

Over all beasts

And every creeping thing

Yet we exalt aliens

And imaginary creatures

From other planets

As having more intelligence

We desire dumb beasts

As spirit guides

When He has provided

His Holy Spirit

As our comforter

And guide

Those who believe

In His Son

Have been given authority

To cast out devils

Instead we allow Hollywood

To give us fear

And we run away

From what we have

The power to conquer

Who are we

That He is mindful of us

Why don’t we walk

In the fullness

Of who He created

Us to be
