Sweet Traps
The devil’s traps are pretty hidden,
Beautiful, sweet and sensuous snare,
Eve and Adam yielded to the forbidden.
The glory departed to render them bare.
Law failed to check sin and iniquity;
Though it rightly punished lawlessness,
In Adam all became utterly guilty,
But in Christ is pardon and righteousness.
How sweet and alluring was our bondage!
Like impure honey covered by tempted ants,
The eyes and flesh may lustfully encage,
Liberty has won in His blooded hands.
Negative pride calls attention to self.
I me my myself exploited by the tempter,
Feels sweet when you seemingly all treasure possess.
Be set free from trap, His grace enter.
