Crossroads
At some stage in a turbid life,
Temptation stalks around the bend.
The devil waits with a friendly smile
At the cross-road time we spend.
The cross-roads are our troubled time,
where sin and prayer do blend;
If we can read the devils smile,
God wins out in the end.
For prayer is our line to heaven
to rejoice in every day
through teaching from our saviour,
may life always stay that way.
But hellfire is sent to tempt us;
and destroy us too they may!
If we choose to take the devil’s route
when at the cross-roads we delay.
We've all been to the cross-roads,
where temptation seems a friend …
Through love, faith and prayer
God wins out in the end.
