The Broad Way by Janet Martin He roams about in beguiling disguise A lion in garments bright He's the deceiver, the father of lies He's death as an angel of light He'll tell you all that you wish to hear To soothe your pricking heart And with his wicked evil sneer He's master of his art With cunning skill he paints the path That leads to Hell's destruction His coaxing smile and hateful laugh Disguises his abduction And many a searching heart believes This double-crossing fraud While he entices he deceives And leads away from God He tells you that he'll fill your need While setting death's dark snare Each thirsting mind with subtle greed He soothes with this world's fare And oft maliciously he throws Distractions on his way For this cunning deceiver knows How soon his glory fades His poisoned rose is filled with dread And venom is his wine He plots to blur the road ahead Distorts the finish line So broad and spacious is his way With gentle downward slope Disillusion blooms and leads away From One eternal Hope |
