For Us

Our Heavenly Father Created For Us The Universe
He Gave To Us His Children All Of The Beauty On This Earth
He Instructed Us To Go Forth And Multiply
To Show Each Other Love And Compassion And He Promised We'd Thrive
Then Darkness Crept Sneakily Over The Land In The Form Of Satan
He's Evil And Negative And Tries To Lead Us Away From The Lords Guiding Hand
He Makes False Promises And Puts Greed And Negativity In Our Hearts
From Our Lords Love He Tries To Convince Us To Depart
Whenever You Find Yourself Tempted To Do Something You Normally Wouldnt Do
Tempted By Selfishness, Jealousy Or Greed, That's Satan Trying To Tighten His Hold On You
As Gods Children We Must Think Things Through Before We Take Any Action
The Devil Has Many Temptations He Dangles In Front Of Us As Distractions
We Must First Ask Important Questions Before We Make Decisions
Is It Something Our Lord Would Want For Us? Something He Himself Would Envision?
Is It Something You Could Own Up To And Be Honest About Without Feeling Shame?
Or Is The Devil Flirting With You, Playing A Sinful Game ?
This Is Why On The Cross For Us Jesus Died
So That We Can Stand Up To Satan And Spit In His Eye
Jesus Died For Our Every Past And Future Sin
His Blood Is What We Are Bathed In
At Any Point In Our Lives, No Matter How Much We Think We've Lost
We Can Turn To Jesus And Be Forgiven Our Sin, That's Why He Died On The Cross
So Please Don't Be Afraid Or Feel For You It's Just Too Late
God Is Watching And Waiting To Fill Your Heart With His Grace
