Rapacious

Her charm and beauty all I saw, In darkness took my flight. Knowing not of my demise, Or knowing wrong from right. I fell completely in love with her She wielded me with Charm. She lured me in with beauty, And blinded me from harm. I was so in love with her And in her folly played. Not mindful of my Father’s wish And His word I disobeyed. So subtly to me she came And in her face I saw, Only good that she could bring And nothing else at all. I thought she would stand by me And then one day I found She had no love for me at all And I fell upon the ground. I turned my eyes to heaven To Him I began to pray. And asked HIM to deliver me To take her from my way. He filled me with His precious love And made my eyes to see She was only like her name And from her I should flee. Her beauty yet entices me And Sin is still her name. Her will no longer captures me Since Jesus to me came.
