Jesus Saves Our Hearts

Deceitful words the Devil speaks
     As fangs flick out and in;
With stench his honeyed words still reek,
     Entices us to sin.

The fangs he flicks are razor sharp
     To virtue cut away,
As honeyed words our minds can warp
     If we let him hold sway.

Alone we cannot him resist,
     And Jesus is our help;
We call on Son who takes the risk
     To offer us Himself.

In every heart He blunts the strike|
     Of fangs are Satan’s tongue,
And Satan howls with his dislike
     Of Him came down those rungs.

For Jesus to each heart descends
     On ladder from the sky,
And every heart He enters, mends
     With virtues from on high.

With virtues we can with Him climb,
     Bring earth to heaven’s door;
New Eden in Him we will find
     With Paradise restored.
