Deception-Seduction

But in place of God’s lordship
Satan swiftly deceived
Appealed to their senses
Denied truths, God revealed.

Stay far from temptations
Not seeking our pleasure
Instead, cleaving closer
To Christ, our true treasure.

So, seek first God’s kingdom
His righteousness, daily
Be filled by His Spirit
Spurn sin, as our enemy.

Well, I don’t mind a dog
Be it Collie or Beagle
But I’m sad for this driver
Who prefers dogs to people.

Not skin color, nor features
Since there’s one human race
Should be all about virtues
Sadly many, have misplaced

So, listen with faith
Trusting God cannot fail
For in wisdom and love
He will always prevail.

Tho’ many called, few are chosen
The self-righteous, are cast out
Into outer darkness
All the unclean, not allowed.

So we’re self-willed, self-reliant
Self-righteous, we blindly stray
Are defiant, independent
We want the last say.

He shall be like a tree
Planted by rivers of water
Brings forth fruit, in its season
Whose leaf shall not wither.

Let my heart be blameless
Regarding Your statutes
That I may not be ashamed
Live a life with sound roots.
