Prevent Him At The Start Poem by Michael P. Johnson

The devil’s hand is never still
He’s ever on the move
He’ll steal he’ll cheat he’ll seek to kill
As all the world can prove

We all have failed and fallen short
We’ve all been Satan’s whore
We all have doubted Christ’s report
And closed to Him our door

When ignorant of godly fear
Through doubt and selfish heart
The truth reveals us crystal clear
From life we’ll take no part

With Satan’s ploys there’s nothing new
He’s practiced them many a year
Seeking to fowl the chosen few
With every trap and snare

There’s no great need for him to run
There’s always some who fall
He failed to get The Father’s Son
But now its whom He’ll call

Its in our mind the fight begins
The battle for our soul
He’d fill our hearts with countless sins
Achieving thus his goal

We need to stop him at the start
Hinder his evil flow
Before he can infest our heart
Before he strikes a blow

Impossible for flesh and bone
We need The Morning Star
Relying on The Lord alone
We’ll win life’s fight by far
