A New Delilah

Delilah stood at the door,
Seeing who she could lure;
Curious who would dare,
Be tempted into her lair.

She knew what it took,
Of every trick in the book;
Just as a spider to a fly,
She could make them buy.

Seduction was the key,
Of an enticement that she;
Making the guys weak,
In a strong desire to seek.

But Delilah met her match,
When she could not snatch;
A man with a Bible in hand,
And a heart at God's command.

He taught her how to repent,
Restitution to circumvent;
As the Spirit cleansed her sin,
A new Delilah was to begin.
