Velvet-toned voice, a whisper in my ear
"Why struggle? When my help's right here?"
A mysterious figure speaking with faux grace
Smile perfect, yet evil eyes on a hollow face
He promised me fame and fortune yet untold
Talk of riches, a pledge of much more to unfold
I asked what was the cost of his generous offer
He said, my immortal soul into his eternal coffer
My mind reeled. Shall I accept this tempting call?
Yearning and wanting it would be fun to take all
"No!” I shouted, “You're not the Light or the Way!”
I’ll keep my soul, sir, evil will never be my play"
The tempter hissed and faded into the night
I stood empowered in the shining starlight
My life is a challenge, my burdens may increase
But in my soul, I now possess a glowing peace
I confronted temptation and made my stand
Refusing his invitation with a soul-saving plan
The long road ahead will not always be clear
But I go with faith, spirit uplifted, free from fear
