Timely Faith
Don't hesitate or be too late,
The devil hopes you will
Take time again; "Is this a sin?"
You don't have time to kill!
If you delay, he gets his way
At least most of the time
In getting you to think it's true;
Sins do not equal crimes.
Please stay alert or you might hurt
The time you pray to God.
The devil tries to see how wise
Your faith is where he trods.
