Temptation

All things can tempt me if I'm weak
Weakness is something I don't seek
To be tempted is a mortal sin
When the Devil tries to suck you in
He entices with charm and grace
Showing no sign of his evil face
Trying to pull the wool over eyes
With corrupt ways and filthy lies
When life gets too hard and tough
It's easy to be swayed by all this stuff
Close your mind eyes mouth and ears
To the one that everyone fears
Go back to your way of living
Believing in a God who is Loving and Forgiving

Put our eyes on him. He can hold our hand with his strong and gentle hands, take away our fears. Nicely said!
