Temptation has a million enticing words,
That seek to give false hope,
Always centred on evil intentions,
That believe arrogance will trump Eternity,
Always wanting to build themselves up,
By plotting my destruction.
My happiness is found in God,
Temptation’s words bounce off me,
I am grounded in God’s truth,
My purest delight is discovered,
Firmly rooted in Eternity’s truth,
I watch temptation’s words,
Get swept away to nothing,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
No substance in their false promises,
The temptor faces his destruction,
His own words become his condemnation,
While I live in God’s approval.
