Poem
Temptation Verse 1: Satan, the world’s best liar and ultimate deceiver He poisons the minds of all mankind and all of us fellow believers His words are sharp like knives and dangerous as the sharpest cleaver We try to run away but he always seems to catch us like a wide receiver Our aiming to avoid him is a constant pattern of failure and digression We rely on ourselves and try to find the right way but it is always a misdirection Our discouragement weights us down with every instance of lack of perfection What we need to do is dial into the connection of the beautiful resurrection Jesus paid the ultimate price for us and made a costly transaction He gave up his whole self to us, not just a part of him or measly fraction He put on his surgical gloves and went to seek out our sin and make a careful extraction He had his eyes on the prize, 20/20, no distractions Though Satan still tries to tempt us with his constant flirtation We must trust in the power of Christ and his beautiful salvation Chorus: T-t-t-temptation flowing in our veins Don’t take in upon yourself trust the king who reigns T-temptation Satan’s favorite weapon Through Christ stay strong, your reward is in heaven Verse 2: Remember that awesome moment with God and hold onto that sensation Use it as motivation to fight against Satan and sin’s worldwide inflation Don’t rest easy or come victim to Satan’s subtle sedation Keep your eyes on Christ for he is our true sense of liberation Stay tuned to the word of God and don’t fall victim to another mirage Don’t give yourself up to Satan’s constant attack and sabotage He may look innocent but he’s dressed in his vegetative camouflage Even though we think he looks cute and innocent like your prom date’s corsage Chorus: Verse 3: You can’t master the fight against sin just cause of some course you took in college You may have gained book smarts but it doesn’t always relate to the needed street knowledge You may think you’re ready for battle but this is a story of fiction You must look to Christ and at his perfect depiction, of life To start to conquer sin you must take a place of humble submission You need to examine yourself and find the prescription to your heart condition You need to align your life to Christ and follow his rendition For his is the perfect example of a servant in a leadership position Now he freed us from the bondage of sin with his suffering and gruesome affliction We no longer have to be held down by our sinful habits and horrible addictions Finding pride in Christ’s death may seem like a contradiction But we find true victory and freedom in his crucifixion
