God’s Promise

The Devil’s darkness need not cast
A shadow on our souls,
For Jesus Christ came down to earth
That we might be made whole,

Temptations daily come our way,
We cannot them avoid,
When Jesus walked this earth as man,
They even made Him annoyed,

He taught us that the darker side
Of human base desire,
Could be eliminated when
We shine with Jesus’ fire,

Our faith in God can overcome
The temptation to sin,
If we but recall Jesus’ love
For us, we’ll surely win,

When life goes wrong we must admit,
Two wrongs don’t make a right,
Each day we have choices to make,
Against sin we must fight,

Remember God’s grace promises
Forgiveness of our sins,
If we truly believe in Him,
The Devil never wins,

So keep your heart and soul and mind
On Jesus as your Lord,
When tempted with the chance to sin,
Rely upon Christ’s word,

His strength will help you overcome
The choice to just neglect,
The homeless, hungry, weak and poor,
Christ’s way we must elect,

For Jesus knows our thoughts and acts,
They can’t from Him be hid,
So follow in this life His path,
Try to live as Christ did.
