I walked in the house-huge it was,
seems I walked for miles.
May a church mouse-full of love,
Begetting me on trial?

What are you doing here-I heard,
Why such the long face without smile?
Then at the top-I overheard,
“Child, be thankful for the whiles.”

I thought, “How silly-in the kitchen here,
What a great-aged bottle of wine…
Sure would taste good-I wish I could,
Drink the sweet of this vine”!

Then I thought, “I’m just a branch,
On the true Vine I hang…
No need to feel fine with fake romance,
God’s Goodness caused me to change”!

How would be-if I got caught,
Cheating on my Lord?
Then came to me-in my mind brought,
A Word sharper than all 2-edged swords…

It cut my thinking away from drinking,
Saying, “Look straight with thine eyes…
For if you drank, and even gave thanks-
Your foolishness would prove unwise”!

Then I just looked a little farther to see-
A deceiving snake staring back at me.
He said, “Just drink, I may not bite…
But I will sting and mar your life”!

So I looked again and heard with all,
My common sense telling me-not to take the fall!
So I didn’t, I quit it-And I will drink no more…
For when I get tempted-my Overcomer is the Lord!!!

PRAISE HIM!!!
