Remedy Against Sin

God has provided a remedy
so sin can be defeated
His divine word he has given
that true godlike behaviour is created

Our role is to store this word
deep into our God shaped hearts
so it's there for us to call up
when satin fires his evil darts

God wants us not to sin
especially against His character
so His word we've been given
to live the truth so not be an actor

Jesus is our perfect example
on combatting satin with scripture
refusing his temptation to sin
making sure our hearts are pure

Go on and sin not
believing only on God
daily reading holy writ
so to heavens award
