Temptation knocked, but he stood tall,

A heart devoted, he gave his all.

Though whispers called,

Though hands reached near,

He fled from sin, his path was clear.

False words rose, a cruel disguise,

A cloak abandoned,

A web of lies.

Yet in the shadows, bound and torn,

God’s light remained, a hope reborn.

Through prison walls,

Through trials deep,

The Lord was near,

His love to keep.

For faith endures,

Though tested strong,

Righteousness will right the wrong.
