Intruder
Scams, shams,
falsehood,lies
deception, ...nothin' real.
So what's the deal?
So are the ways of man.
We are growing so old
but might I be so bold
as to say our love
is growing cold.
So are the ways of man.
Man's anger simmers
deep within like a pot
of stew over a hot fire.
Can he contain his ire?
So are the ways of man.
So common now is abuse
men of children on the loose.
Not enough love to stay home
and care for their own.
So are the ways of man.
And how are our children
affected being unaccepted
by their own flesh and blood,
whether white suburbia or in the "hood".
So are the ways of man.
It issues a Grand Canyon
size crater deep in their gut.
They try with every fiber of their
being to be loved and yet are not.
So are the ways of man.
Attention, affection,acceptance,
they simply must find somewhere.
Just someone..... anyone
who will really, truly care.
So are the ways of man.
Pride, arrogance, prejudice,
lust, greed, selfishness,
always seem to get in the way
and have from the very first day.
So are the ways of man.
Satan doesn't have to barge
into our homes like a Roman army.
He's simply given the key to the door.
And he always comes back for more.
So are the ways of man.
But the real "key" is this.
We must kick Satan out the back door.
And allow Jesus to rule our domain
Because He offers us so much more!
And nothing will be the same.
So is the way of God.
