Evil
There is a very present evil in the world today
An evil that perverts the hearts of men in what they say
An evil so insidious its words engender hate
In people who would otherwise just trust their lives to fate
But this evil has tentacles that weave their way within
The hearts of those who think that they are reconciled with sin
Who think that they are Christians when they know not Christ at all
But think that He'll respond to them when they stumble and fall
Into the trap they're laying through their craft and subtlety
For people who see not the way they truly choose to be
When others cannot see them in the private of their homes
Where craft is mixed with subtlety and evil spirits loom
Above them ever watching to make sure they block the light
To keep them blinded to the Truth against Whom they all fight
To bring about destruction of the very souls of men
That they have entertained to keep within the dark of sin
The dark that's so pervasive few can see the morning Light
That comes to those who choose to stand and join the Captain's fight
Who spend their time each morning full immersed within His will
That through the days of reckoning He can in them fulfill
His purpose for salvation to bring everything to light
To give the people one more chance to join Him in the fight
Before probation closes and the host of God are sealed
And plagues and wonders fill the earth that His Word has revealed
Will come on those not watching like a thief upon the night
To steal away what good they have that points them to the Light
But is not placed within them as the Anchor for their soul
The Way that God designed it should to make them safe and whole
For now as never in the past that came this way before
The time of trouble spoken of the prophets waited for
Is soon to break upon us starting from the hearts within
The people who know not our God and choose to follow sin
And only those preparing telling others of the Way
That leads to our salvation in the coming Judgement Day
Will be prepared and ready when Christ's coming all will see
The way He has described it in His Book of Prophesy
2 Peter 2:9-22
