Be Sober and Watchful
Be sober and watchful,
Satan is against you;
He is very artful,
Keeping you in his view.
Merely like a lion,
Out stalking for some prey;
Or a movie villain,
Waiting for you to stray.
Do not give what he wants,
Always keep your faith strong;
Later it comes back and haunts,
For passion will prolong.
With undergoing pain,
That will last a while;
Confess and let God reign,
For to reconcile.
Christ will give you support,
Strengthen in times like this;
If more tries Christ will thwart,
With love sealed with a kiss.
