Temptation is like quick sand
That sucks you ever lower,
Once it has got a hold on you
Be sure it will devour.
It lies amidst life’s pathways,
And looks like solid ground,
But it is dangerous to your life
Wherever it is found.
One step can be quite fatal,
But once both feet are in
You cannot free yourself alone
From these deep pits of sin.
However, Christ can save you,
He’ll pull you from its grip;
If you will simply trust in Him
He will not let you slip.
His people too can help you
If they are firmly grounded,
If they are sure on solid ground –
Ground tested, tried, and sounded.
Stay far away from quick sand,
Don’t traverse marshy places,
Stick to the paths that God has laid
For life’s important races.
