Slip Sliding Away

I know a lot of people who are all headed the same way No, not to the steeple as whom themselves they betray A passenger in a hand basket, too preoccupied to notice Oh how easily satan does outwit that point so many miss Not only slipping and sliding but not accepting God's Hand satan so cleverly dividing, and you, you don't understand Like a pawn he uses you moving you all around his board Denying that God is true, a decision one's soul can't afford So further and further they slid in thinking everything is fine Being led by staunch inner pride satans favorite kind of wine In so being drawn out I'd only plead you'd try just once more Despite all of that doubt take one moment to answer the door Get out of that hand basket and call out loudly for His Hand Oh on this you can just bet, that He will already understand His Name not to be a burden, He removed all of your shame Be not like other men but rejoice in and reverence His Name Psalms 24:1 (A Psalm of David.) The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. Psalms 33:8 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. ...so cleverly dividing, and you, you don't understand You just don't understand! Slip sliding away.
