sin

Sin...

why do you come around again

why do you entice me

dancing so seductively

before me

luring me with your eyes

ravaging me with lust

pulling my fleshly passions

and desires from the past

tempting me with words

so easy to hear

persuading me with songs

to come and draw near

Sin...

how I hate you

I despise your cunning ways

your convincing powers

covets my heart to sway

how do you manage

to be so strong

alluring in your presence

as I fight against your throng

your seductive powers

are wise beyond me

torturing my nature

to draw it out free

how I love to give you

what my heart desires

to play zealously alongside

your growing fervent fires

Sin...

you afflict me unawares

as you spin your web of lies

you lead me to death

through my very own desires

how I hate you

I despise your cunning ways

your convincing powers

covets my heart to sway

even in victories

you crouch at the door

waiting to grab me

to show me once more

how lovely your way

how amazing, how true

if only I would give

my life over to you

Sin...

your lips are smooth and sweet

you know just what to say

filling me with longing

I long to be taken away

how I hate you

I despise your cunning ways

your convincing powers

covets my heart to sway

Sin...

I’ll be free of you yet

don’t stand there in pride

though you’ve got me today

I am on the winning side
