Temptations

Surely Heaven is just,
Surely earth is good.

Yet, temptations lurks all around,
My feet are prone to slipped
My heart envies the lawless,
for they eat, drink, callose all days,
carefree and increase their gains.

I asked myself,
I must be stupid to keep my heart pure,
I must be short changed in this life.
When I try to understand these,
Grief filled my heart
Injustice! shrieks from deepest being

Only when I turn to my Lord,
"Why are things as such?"
I see wisdom holding me tight
As a mother would a child,
She speaks their future into my heart,
with forethought, wisdom saves my life.

who have I in heaven but you?
Earth has nothing better besides you

My flesh and heart will surely fail
But God is the strength of my heart
My portion, my help, my shield forever

Be a tower of refuge to me Lord,
I will tell of all your saving deeds.
