Reach for that Nail Scared Hand

Nancie    Norton
Satan loves your misery
That's when he knows he's got a hold
Because you see, his main objective
Is to sabotage your soul

Moment by moment, he's waiting near
He wants to keep your life a mess
By playing little games with your heart and head
Sometimes he fools me, I have to confess

He keeps up with the happenings
That move into your life day by day
And like a mugger, in the shadows waiting
He attacks, when the right "wrong" comes your way

He looks for those weak moments
When life seems not to be treating you fair
And taking advantage of those situations,
You can bet he'll jump right in there!

He likes to give you the impression
That you are alone, and he wants to help you out
He's trying desparately to steal your soul,
That's all he's thinking about!

And God knows, satan will use any measure
To get you in his harmful grasp
That's why God gives us his Blessed Assurance
Of a protection plan that will last

So next time satan disguises himself
As a friend, who cares about you
Turn around and reach for that nail scarred hand
And hold on for eternal life, the rest Jesus will do.

    Amen, Nancie! Even when we see Him face-to-face, there will still be that nail-scarred hand to kiss.
