Satan’s Poison ~

Booze is Satan’s poison,
it gives you the devil lips
the drunker you’ll become
with each and every sip.

A drink in moderation,
isn’t something drunks do
they guzzle until they finish
a fifth or maybe even two.

Drunken tongues spew fire,
with outbursts that inflame
anyone getting in their way
will surely be the blame.

Drunkards fight and brawl,
at you they will lunge
and the damage they do
can never be expunged.

Lush’s are belligerent,
not caring who they attack
with words so very awful
they can’t be taken back.

If you have a problem,
with drinking of any kind
be filled with the Holy Spirit
let Him control your mind.

For, booze is Satan’s poison,
it is the devil’s brew . . .
and it will definitely make
an alcoholic out of you!

Proverbs 23:29-30

“Who hath woe? who hath sorrow?
who hath contentions?
who hath babbling?
who hath wounds without cause?
who hath redness of eyes?

They that tarry long at the wine;
they that go to seek mixed wine.”

Ephesians 5:18

“And be not drunk with wine,
wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;”

In The Valley ~

In the valley dark and deep,
amid the shadows of despair
the beast of the world hides
looking for those he can snare.

On rebellions valley floor,
where misery loves to sleep
in the fields of hopelessness
lies the defiant little sheep.

Pastures once green and lush,
now covered with sin’s sludge
the wayward one is frightened
to meet its eternal Judge.

The rush of life-giving waters,
arouses the backslidden one
a soul entrenched in darkness
sobs for the light of the Son.

In the valley dark and deep,
the errant one turns to God
the beast of the world flees
to find another soul to trod.

Out of the shadows it emerges,
into pastures once more green
the wayward sheep now rests
on His mercy, it now leans.

In the valley deep and dark,
lies more defiant little sheep
and for each one of them
the Good Shepherd weeps.

If you are a rebellious one,
if you too have lost your way
come to where His mercy flows
and return to Him today!

Isaiah 53:6

“All we like sheep
have gone astray;
we have turned every one
to his own way;
and the Lord hath laid
on him the iniquity of us all.”
