The Roaring Lion
He prowls around the Earth to find
A victim to devour.
He's always looking for the kind
Of prey quite weak in power.
He seldom looks within the flock;
He knows the Shepherd's there,
Instead, he finds ones with sweet talk
And promises repair.
We can't escape the Lion's bait,
Unless we know just how
To find the Shepherd's open gate
Through faith that's needed now!
