Deceiving Spirits

Deceiving spirits all around

And liars plenty now abound

They take and twist the Words of God

And do not give to God a nod

Their goal is to deceive the world

Throughout the world they are unfurled

To pacify the sins of flesh

To leave the people in their mess

And so they alter gospel truth

For they are those who are uncouth

They leave the people in their sins

While promising a life in heaven

And then they say the truth’s a lie

And so the truth they do deny

They cut, cut, cut the words of God

For they, in truth, are great big frauds

They shorten truths to make them say

What they don’t say in any way

For out of context, this or that,

The truth is not fully intact

So they teach lies to the people

They intend to be their sheeple

Many follow them in practice

Making the lie now their status

But the truth of Jesus’ gospel

Makes the many to it hostile

It requires of us denial

To our self and sin in cycle

Jesus calls us to obey Him,

Give our lives to Him, forsake sin,

Live for Jesus now in service

And His grace it will preserve us
