Deceitful Ways

Don’t look horizontally and follow the deceitful ways of the devil,
But look up to the Lord and He will make our path level.

Don’t be taken captive by the ways of the world,
Don’t let fools gold cause you to not see our Priceless Pearl.

Remember that we live in a continue battle for the soul,
It is our faith in Christ that Satan would like us to throw.

Remember that it is God’s power that causes us to stand,
And that we have been set free from the devil, in God’s redemptive plan.
