Tamed and Tied

To give glory to Satan I'm sorry to sound,
Though bitter a truth I've certainly found:
Some sons Satan has strictly tamed and tied,
(Forbid O Lord I might have lied).

On wicked ways their thoughts hidebound,
As devil dictates they gullibly go round;
They have become his bond-servants and lieges,
In enemy's bondage who artfully besieges.

And they sorrowfully lead their breath on earth,
The dragon depraved them their mission and mirth;
Them he mistreats and mangles and mocks,
And laughs at loud and in the searing Lake of fire, he locks.

But listen, you who are tamed and tied:
How long will devil destroy you and deride?
Subject your soul to the Savior's side,
 And He will right reward you with a free ride.

Good advice about giving your soul to our Savior. The rewards are many. I do believe we often blame a "devil" when we have the power to stop doing evil. Interesting work! Best wishes, Carolyn
