Pick Your Poison

Too much of a good thing Too little of the bad

Can both come to harm you They can drive you quite mad

‘Cause idols aren’t obvious Like a bad attitude 

They can steal right up on you -They’re subtle and shrewd

The lust of the flesh The lust of the eyes

The pride of life Can be a surprise

So man, pick your poison but better beware

They’ll bring you down low and you’ll come to despair

In the mind is the battle and that’s where it’s won

Take every thought captive and when the day is done

Next day there’s the conflict between right and wrong

The poison will find you cause you ain’t that strong

Each man has a cancer and there is no cure

It started in Eden  and still it endures

There’s only one treatment and only one plan

‘Cause God gets the glory  when in Him you stand

The lust of the flesh The lust of the eyes

The pride of life Can be a surprise

So man, pick your poison but better beware

He’ll take all Your poison –He’s your only prayer.
