Don't Wander Too Far
When thoughts begin to wander
And I don't quickly fill
My mind with things to ponder,
The devil most certainly will!
An invitation he won't need
To sneak into your life
To tempt you till he does succeed
And cause so much strife.
The best defense of ours must be
Read scripture every day,
Then show your faith for all to see,
And don't forget to pray and pray!
