A Picture of Jesus
Before you even realize temptations will arise
satan always tries to get you to accept his lies
Replacing for what you long with which is wrong
Not nearly so strong out where you don't belong
In drawing you near as to your desires you adhere
His ultimate goal clear, now just needing your ear
To say the very least hell-bent in refusing to relent
Acting as his personal vent in the message he sent
And now he has won yet with you he's not done
This the beginning of his fun denying you the Son
As he hones his skill in the defeating of your will
Never getting his fill looking for more souls to kill
There is One who can save in the life that He gave
Sin made you a slave and will send you to the grave
Jesus died in your place for Heaven is a gift of Grace
So when emotions race just look at our Lord's face
Seek the Lord and his strength;
seek his face continually!
1 Chronicles 16:11
