The Serpent’s Hiss-s-s-s
The best of us are but weak, shortsighted strugglers.
Sadly, many have ceased; into the void they settled.
Yet, a few proudly, defiantly proclaim to be “sanctified”?!
Just how are we possibly ever going to even survive?
This snake-pit is dark, deep,
demonic and is strong!
Our sinful hearts are split
asunder,
and severely
soiled!
How can our journey through this valley ever succeed?
Jesus, the Snake’s head You surely must stomp!
You alone ever will be our sanctuary and salvation!
The demons back to Hell, You can with a word dismiss!
Our only hope to conquer and thrive, will always be this,
Our feeble efforts engendered and enlivened by Your Spirit!
You alone are our hope, our life, our Lord, our only assurance!
