The Life of Samson
In Zorah was born one called Samson
he was blessed by God as he grew
one day Samson went down to Timnah
for a wife his intention was to woo
After being married he set a riddle
but his wife wept for seven days
before finally Samson told his secret
due to his wife he gave in and says
The Philistines burned his father and wife
Samson swore for this he would avenge
with a donkeys jawbone struck thousand men
so the Philistines fell Samson gained his revenge
Samson wasa a great lover of women
one he loved was Delilah no less
but Samson had so much super strength
no one knew how , couldn't even guess
The Philistines persuaded Delilah to seduce him
to find out why his strength was so
but Samson wouldn't tell his secret
till eventually he no longer said no
So Samson's strength was in his hair
Delilah made him sleep on his knee
then got his seven hair locks shaved
the Lord left him to be free
Samson had now been blinded
the Philistines called him to entertain
but leaning against the pillars that day
using his strength thousands he did slay
The lesson of Samson is clearly seen
it's not enough just having faith
when lustful thoughts pull you down
be holy as I am holy Jesus saith
So be pure and sin not
cut off every sinful thought
keep Bible at right hand
making sure you daily stand
Judges chapters 13-16
