God’s seeking for His Son a bride
Perfect in every way
So through His Spirit deep inside
He’s testing night and day
He’s testing out our wayward hearts
Trying what broils within
Searching if one of Satan’s darts
Has led our souls to sin
It’s Satan’s job to prove the seed
He’ll lie he’ll steal and cheat
He'll tempt and woo the worthless weed
From Jesus’ ripening wheat
Christ warns about the devil’s snares
Of testing in this life
He warns because He truly cares
And wants a faithful wife
He warns that Satan will deceive
Festoon our lives with flaws
But those who in His name believe
Will close the devil’s jaws
Even with friends we love so dear
Will darkness seek its place
Will cloud the mind fill hearts with fear
To make us lose the race
In sickness there are testing grounds
Yet wisdom proves so well
For here the devil makes his rounds
To see what pain may tell
So those now lost, full sin and shame
Who die with hearts of stone
Its not the devil who’s to blame
The choice is ours alone

Very true, Michael. We all have the freedom to choose, but we should all be aware that we, alone, will be held responsible for the choices we make.Thanks. As always, a very good read. Richard
