THE DEVIL’S HOOK <\/p>\n

There is no end to saying,
\nHow bad you really are,
\nJust listen to the Devil,
\nHe’ll leave your mouth ajar.<\/p>\n

Things you have forgotten,
\nAre written in his book,
\nOnce you start listening,
\nHe’s got you with his hook.<\/p>\n

Down and down you’ll go,
\nAs your faith dissipates,
\nQuick! Speak God’s Word!
\nFor that the Devil hates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
