Apostasy

Our cold hearts tend to wander
And fancy for its flight
When sin we start to ponder
With darkness reunite.

The warning’s loud and clear
The Word of God proclaim
To Christ we must adhere
Or cause Him open shame

Do not be led astray
By enticements of this world
For some have gone away
To be entirely unfurled

Remember what was said
About those who’ve gone away
They were never really of us
And are clearly gone to stay

If with sin you want to play
Don’t forget Lot’s wife
For the reason that you stray
May just cost your life.
