Nice and Easy

Ah, that's nice;

But what is the price?

No aches and no pains;

That means there's no gains.

Going with the flow of this world will come with ease;

Doing anything to please.

But pleasing who?

Is it done for you?

That's not the way it should be;

Why is this so hard to see?

When we are doing what we should;

It may not feel very good.

The evil one wants us back;

His detachment can feel like an attack.

The world may seem ugly and cold;

Maybe you're finally being bold.

Standing apart from the rest;

Helping others, and doing your best.

On our own we can't do that;

We'd just be laying flat.

Who gives you your strength and power?

Sometimes it depends upon the hour.

When we do good it comes from above;

He can make us as light and free as a flying dove.

When we do wrong it can feel the same;

That's the devil playing his tricky game.

So how do we tell?

How do we make sure we aren't under some spell?

Read the Bible to see;

Make sure you are working for others--not just me, me, me.

Pray for God to guide you on His path;

Don't try to figure it out--He'll do the math.

Look for trouble as a sign;

This means you're leaving evil behind.

Ask God for power to do His will;

You won't need to envy, lie, steal, or kill.

AMEN
