Satan's Allurements
Satan paints pretty pictures, on billboards and on T.V.,
All for a specific reason, it is done deliberately;
He wants to control your thinking, the eye gate is the best way,
But there is nothing wrong with it, is what you say!
Satan knows to keep your mind bombarded, you'll be no good to God,
He knows it's all over, when you're laying beneath the sod;
So all the trash he puts before you, he definitely wants you to see,
So get to it, hit the remote, turn on the T.V.!
But you say there is nothing wrong, it won't send me to hell,
If you are saved, that is true, but you'll have a worldly smell;
I could get drunk and run with whores, wouldn't send me as well,
But plenty would be ready to throw me there, this place called hell!
God said, set your affection on things above, not on this earth,
The system and the world, don't get along with the new birth;
Most set their affection here, could be the only thing they know,
For, if ones affection is set above, it is surely gonna show!
No, all this mess won't send the saved to hell, may cause someone else to go,
For, like an eagle they are watching you, and they do know;
God saved us and left us here, to help someone else get in,
Not to be someones excuse, for them to live in sin!
So, a living sacrifice, is what the Lord is looking for,
And everyone with this hope in them, purifies themselves, more and more;
Don't be afraid of gettin' too holy, in this life that won't be,
Just look to the Lord, and the right example you will see!
