THE DEACON'S FOLLY

by Lewis E. Thomas

Listen to me friend please listen to me well
Because I have a story a sad story to tell.

Listen to me friend please listen to me well
It's about a poor Deacon on his way to hell.

He met a Delilah and thought she was so fair
He knew not that Satan had set a trap there.

With lust in his heart she's all he could see
He's caught in Satan's trap but thinks he's still free!

Ole Satan now has a strong hold on his soul
He thinks she's the greatest worth more than gold!

This woman that he coveted was a Minister's wife
The Deacon wanted her no matter how great the price!

It all started with that first lustful stare
Satan whispered to him "Your wife don't compare!"

Delilah was unfaithful to the Minister and to God
She takes the Deacon's hand now with Satan they trod!

The Deacon and adulteress both divorce their spouse
Death follows with them to dwell in their house!

As he lies with her in Sin's unholy bond
They betrayed cry tears for those of whom their fond.

God wanted him to be the light in his home
An example of holiness of God to be known.

Many of his relatives in sin were watching his light
Trying to find there way to the path they knows right.

He turned out God's light now in darkness they dwell
He sins in the night while they go to hell.

As he took this woman twas another man's wife
God blotted his name from the Lambs Book of Life!

There's only one way to get his name there again
He must forsake her and repent of his sin!

They may be in another Church cozy as a bug
But God sees their sin that's swept under the rug!

Like David with Bathsheba the Deacon thinks he'll get by
But God's Judgment will come and the Deacon will cry!
