My Decision To Desist

How could i this peace destroy
When christ has given me lasting joy?
Never would i be satan's errand boy 
Nor give my life to him as a toy.

Satan has many hands employ
The saints and saved to scare and annoy
Scorpions and serpents in millions he deploy
Just to execute his poisoned ploy.

Never would i be satan's envoy
Nor be scared of his teaming convoy
In the face of temptration i will never coy
And at last i will not be satan's cowboy
