Temptation
Satan comes as an angel of light,
With glittering pleasures untold;
And many hearts are led astray,
Far from the peaceful fold.
He knows our point of weakness,
Just how to lure us all...
Till fellowship with God is broken,
And we yield to him and fall.
Those pleasures so enticing
Were short lived, as we’d been told;
And the angel of light that deceived us
Was a lion, fierce and bold,
Leaving us bruised and bleeding
In need of tender care...
We cry to our loving Shepherd
And find He’s always there.
Satan is a defeated foe,
Conquered at the Cross;
We need not yield to him at all
And suffer such a loss.
As we walk in fellowship with God,
From sin He set’s us free,
Giving power o’er the tempter’s call...
Resist him...he will flee.
"Submit yourselves therefore to God,
resist the devil, and he will flee from you"
(James 4:7)
