The wind howls in the dark of the night
Spirits are lurking in the dim moonlight
They think the darkness hides their evil acts
Those who love to sin are the ones they attract

Like a predator waiting for their prey
Plotting to devour those who disobey
Lies and deceit are the main tools they use
Spirits are lurking at the wrong path you might choose

They’re like a lion dragging prey to their death
Despising the fact, you are filled with God’s breath
Enticing the lost with sin as their bait
Eternal torment will be their gruesome fate

The path of escape is to follow God’s ways
Seek His loving Presence for all of your days
If you search with all your heart, you will surely find
God sent His Son to redeem all of mankind

1 John 1:5-7 – “This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 6 If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.”

1 John 3:4-10 – “Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. 5 But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin. 6 No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him.
7 Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. 8 The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. 9 No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. 10 This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister.”

1 Peter 5:8-9 – “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.”
