No Evil Distractions

Many will laugh and talk with you
Many will eat and drink with you 
Many will pretend as if they are with you.
         No evil distractions 
Many will say good things about you and 
many will say bad things about you.
         No evil distractions
Many will come in the name of the lord and
pretend to be in one accord.
          No evil distractions 
Many will tell lies and spread rumors about you
because they want others to hate and rise up 
against you.
           No evil distractions 
Many will deny you and betray you just to get 
the benefit of a favor for self-gratification from 
another person.
           No evil distractions 
Many will shout and sing praises claiming they are 
doing it in the fathers name but praying for your life 
to waste down the drain.
           No evil distractions 
Many will try to get close to you because they want 
to hurt you and destroy you.
Let us be careful in our lives who we admit in and entertain.
            No evil distractions
