Believing Lies

The deception of Satan
Is no different today
He appeals to our thoughts
To our desires, lead us astray.

Our repentance, often shallow
More remorse, and regret
Not turning and fleeing
From pet sins, that beset.

Daily follow and abide
Lift to Him, every thought
As I feed on Your Word
Obey all I am taught.

So do pray, that our hearts
Remain steadfast, unmoved
Walk by faith, not feelings
In Christ, wholly approved.

By Your Spirit, I’m reborn
By Your Spirit, empower
By Your Spirit, do direct
By Your Spirit, overpower.

By constant prayer, keep seeking
Lest we wander, and fall
Ever dependent, await
God’s Word and wisdom, in all.

With other cisterns, we still thirst But not the waters, Jesus gives
Becomes a fountain, within us
Springing up, forever lives.

And God warns by deserting
We become wayward people
As we drink, from broken cisterns
We commit two great evils.

With a focus on obeying
God’s truths, they go share
More multiplying disciples
Prayerfully go, everywhere.

For our focus is body
But God speaks to the soul
Our faith, His redemption
These make a man whole.
