He sells death The price is our soul And we pay He offers sin No purchase required And we pay He promises heaven For a price And we pay God is a liar He declares to be true And we believe He claims to be our friend And Love never wins And we believe He teaches us church is for fools The weak minded and poor And we believe He may offer wealth He may offer life But it is we who have been sold We cannot buy what he offers Yet we pay the ultimate price What kind of deal can he make? The price paid by Jesus Clears our debt The mercy offered by God Saves our soul The devil is a salesman Don’t be sold Melody Lyn Wilson aka Lyn Eagleton 2000 **A bit strange...Yes.But then so am I at times.** |

Oh yes, and what a salesman he is! He's able to wrap the nastiest in warm, inviting smiles. He can lure people away from thier families, and responsibilities into 'feel good' drugs and alcohol, illegal work, temper them with 'everybody else does, then tell them they're so bad God couldn't possibly love them. Thanks for sharing this piece. Rae |

Wow!!! A great poem and one that I hope to read again sometime. I loved the way you started out as Satan being the deceiver and liar and then winding it up with Jesus being the Victor and that He has already paid the price. Excellent poem!!! Sheri Adams PS. Do you know that your comment still says "Please don't comment, I won't be back here for quite a while." Yet you keep submitting poems so I am wondering if you should change your line about Constructive Critiques. Jesus lives in my heart! He can in yours too!!! |

A whole lot of truth in this one. If only everybody could understand that the devil is a liar and just gathering souls for his home in hell so he won't have to burn and suffer alone. Great poem. Sheri Adams Jesus lives in my heart! He can in yours too!!! |
