Don't Work for Satan

DON'T WORK FOR SATAN

  


We’re saved by grace, through God’s own blood


God’s Spirit makes us strong


We try to live the way we should


Yet much can still go wrong


 


Where hate resides in place of love


The devil’s work is done


Our deeds oppose God’s will above


And that of Christ His Son


 


We harm a brother just as Cain


The Lord our God is grieved


The devil’s work’s yet done again


Once more; we’ve been deceived


 


With lust; we greet our neighbour’s wife


With Satan’s deep desire


His will can so destroy one’s life


To end within hell’s fire


 


He’s out to kill, deceive and rob


To tempt the faithful few


Yet still we ease for him his job


Through every sin we do


 


This work must cease! Life’s not a game


We must repent and fight


Take up the sword in Jesus’ name


When Satan prowls in sight


 


‘Resist the foe and he shall flee’


This statement’s more than true


Trust in The Lord, stand firm and see


The devil slink from view


 


We need not suffer Adam’s fate


Making the same mistake


Obey! The Lord, before too late


Or burn in Satan’s lake.....

About the Poet
I never wrote a word of poetry in my life. Till the day Jesus took my hand and touched my soul.....I invite your response. However most poems are not about me! Very few are. But the feed-back good, bad or indifferent is always desired. Not meant to offend, but I write about many things in many a guise. Of life, death, lost, found, saved, backsliders, new comers, repenting souls, doubting hearts, heathens, Christians, fire, water, Satan's daughter, wallowing in sin, saved, made sound walking in Light, graceful righteous. Suffering, ecstatic, bored, excited, sad, delighted, Sick, well, lame, able, living, dying, etc. etc. etc. Writing about anything, everything and everyone as the spirit leads. All meant to reveal, waken, revive, encourage, shame, help. Gladden, pick up, exalt, portrait, liberate. Again over 99% of my work is not about me. Although at times I write as though I were or am. Speaking e.g. in the first person. This is quite common even in the bible itself. Prophets speak of themselves, then God speaks, again the prophet, then God......Quite often it's difficult to distinguish whom it is that at any given time is speaking or narrating.
