Poetry

He’ll grasp at any tiny crack, so guard your open door
he’ll slip right in so silently and plant his sinful lure
He’s famous for his cleverness, renowned for all his lies
and as he leads you off to hell, he’ll laugh at your sad cries

Be always watchful, every day, stay close to God and watch & pray
old Satan, dear, is out to getcha, don’t let him have the final say.
Yes, the devil’s out ta getcha - so you’d better watch your back
he’ll promise you the world and more and say you’ll have no lack

He’ll tempt you down forbidden roads with thoughts of wealth and fame
he’ll whisper in your ear and say he’ll protect your “well known” name
After you’ve partaken of illicit, secret fun, he’ll open the protecting door,
revealing you as a “fallen one”

He’ll glee laugh with glee as all your friends
tell others of your shame
and boast to all his demons
how he “gotcha” and ruined your name

There’s only one way to escape
his evil, tempting lair
Walk with Jesus every day
and talk with Him in prayer.
