I can't imagine how I'd feel
if everything I did
came of no fruition
my reputation slid.
He came to Earth with just one thought,
to wrest Earth from God's hand.
He made his trip to the Garden,
and he tempted God's woman and man!
We all know the story,
that when God came to see,
He would find his man
had fallen for Satan's schemes'
He thought he'd won the battle
and went on to torture man,
inflicting every day pain
anywhere he can.
There was mention of another,
sometime to arrive.
Now the hunt was on,
he would see him not alive.
Time came and had been foretold,
this special Child was born.
Oh how he rejoiced now
as many babe's lives were torn!
Then the time arrived
when he would have his way.
He would kill this Son of God,
and make all of Earth pay!
As Jesus made His arrival
upon this final yard,
Satan rubbed his hands in joy
he had worked so very hard!
He tricked and connived all over,
and pulled many stunts.
He'd really like to get
that very thing he would want.
The problem was ole Satan
who had lined up for the kill.
suddenly saw the Son of God,
walking through hell at will!
Not only did He preach the word
which many did believe.
He led captivity captive
which Heaven did receive!
Satan thought for sure he'd win
he was sure he knew the plan.
all he had to do was kill Him,
kill the Son of Man!
But before that could happen,
he came to understand
he could not kill this Son of God,
Jesus gave His life instead!
So the plan was now complete
to set in place someday.
Well, while he still owned Earth
such havoc Satan could play!
He should not think it would be easy,
he leaned in for the win,
only to find that God
got in front of him!
