Hook, Line, Sinker


Hook, Line, Sinker

You’re either cold or hot there’s no one that knows but God and you?
Are you following Satan who uses sin for bait to entice one to pursue.
The turmoil of life that causes the swirling  to bother and upset.
Struggling in the current plunging here and there to escape and fret.
Pretend there’s nothing wrong but can taste the bait you see on the hook.
Then are caught up in longing for what you know is wrong in God’s book.

When you ask yourself, why? It’s temptation it’s better to not take heed.
There are warning signs but you did not listen because of worldly greed.
Perhaps skipping a service or two at church, found a reason not to go,
A couple of alibis such as I’ve somewhere else to go or an inflamed toe.
Now that you are caught realizing just how far you have drifted away;
Spent time running from God like Jonah who didn’t heed or obey.

You’re caught up in sin’s net without hope knowing that death is near.
Aha, says the master of deceit, I have a prize catch, on their face a sneer.
You forsook the savior who paid the cost to rescue your soul that’s neat.
They doesn’t care if you live or die, the Bible, was not true you’re in defeat.
There’s no way you’re going to survive I just don’t care if you live or die.
Why no one, not even me, cares for a worm, that’s what I see in my eyes.

It doesn’t show on the outside what you feel inside, so you hear the alarm.
Repeatedly, as you squirm in your seat trying to get free of the arm.
An awesome presence there that will not leave you where you are sitting.
Someone’s tugging on you can’t deal it no longer you feel like splitting.
Where you can’t wait one moment longer there you kneel with no pride.
While there your sins you cast aside, repent, and ask him in to abide..

God Bless !
Psalm 47
 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
Colossians 3 : 1-3
