Web of Sin

A Web of Sin





A web so strong

Yet made of silk

Invisible skeins

Woven to trick



Unseen to the eye

Until it’s too late

Stuck in the net

Of undesireable fate



Prepared so delicately

And set as a trap

Tricked so easily

To fall to mishap



Prey to the sin

Yet again I have fallen

Caught in the stickiness

Of the evil one’s callin’.



Movement alerts

The angel of dark

Forces of evil

Descend at his hark.



Immediately surrounded

Feeling trapped in this mess

I cry out for help

I’m failing this test!



The pressure is fierce

I am being bound

Oh no, this is it

I’ll never be found.



Suddenly, the evil surrenders

Its foe

The web is loosened

I am let go.



Tossed outside

The grasp of defeat

My Savior arrived

My hope is complete!



Jesus, the Redeemer

Never comes late

But watch for the webs

They always have bait.



Praise Him Almighty

Giver of Life

Allowing my rescue

Forgiving my plight.



Poem inspired by a garden spider at Limehouse boat landing. 9-10-09

I watched a garden spider bind stick thrown into her web. When she realized she could not consume it she let it go & tossed it from her web. AMAZING!!!

Isn’t this what our Savior does for us? Sometimes we feel trapped & lost in Satan’s web of sin. Praise God, he has to release us when he realizes we belong to Jesus!
