Don't Let The Enemy In

The song builds its case with plain, almost childlike pictures: a lion threatening someone you love, a robber at the door, a sly fox peddling lies, a serpent striking at your heels. Each one gets a commonsense response — fight, defend, disbelieve, crush. The turn comes in the repeated couplet about how carefully we guard our bodies and possessions while leaving the heart we've handed to the King unguarded. From there the chorus becomes a chant of refusal, moving from a general warning to a first-person vow as the singer shifts from "don't" to "I won't." The final verse widens the frame: a man with a kingdom and treasure gives it all away for your good and pleasure, and the gift turns out to be peace, joy, and freedom from strife — something you'd guard with your life. The song insists this already happened, that every blessing has been given, so the devil's lies should be rejected no matter what they're dressed in. It's less a doctrinal argument than a practical exhortation, closing on resolve rather than sentiment.
