Manipulation

Something that I want
Is just beyond my reach
Convincing of some souls
To them I now beseech

Crafting of my words
To make them see my way
May have to bend the truth
In the words I say

Moving of the light
To cast a shadows view
To get the things I want
Some words be misconstrued

Happy when I get
A temporary flair
In the view of time
I’ll find a deep despair

For I have gone the way
Of devil’s tempting words
In wanting of my own
His voice I followed, heard

Oh manipulation
A sin I cherished true
Set me down a path
That carried me from You

Lord, let me submit
To seeking of Your way
Surrendering of me
To follow You today
