The Invitation

Betrayal

Freedom is nice

So why do I lock myself in chains?

To live in sin is death

So why does it reign in my brain?



My God of mercy has heard my cry of desperation

I seek His face to free me from this lustful perversion



No more no more

Can I live this shame

My thoughts, slave of depravity



Pleasures of wickedness is offered unto me

Impurity's dominion is calling out to be received

The invitation, an offer of sensual gain

Extended arms of death, self control falls to be slain



Plagued with sorrow

Reaching for false dreams

Lies have filled my head

I must run instead



Grace has freed me

Why I feel this need

To go back to a way

Of false love I've played



Resist the devil, he must flee

Resist the touch, God save me

Break the control, upon my mind

I'm freed indeed, the past behind



The idea of pleasures

Is not always what it seems

An enticing way of seduction

Has a wage to be paid



The world revelling in their pleasures

Is inviting with appeal

But the devil through this lust

Come to destroy, kill and steal
