His moves will never trap her
He’s pegged this girl all wrong
She prefers to willingly sacrifice
Over becoming your unwitting pawn.
Don’t miscalculate her loyalty
Her Prince is peace and truth
She’ll bow humble at His feet
Over taking a turn with a liar like you.
Your lures and schemes won’t snare her
Those who set them just make her sad
She prays they’ll find the narrow gate
She hopes they’ll know the love she has.
For she won’t trade her joy for sorrow
No idol will claim victory
She won’t listen to a stranger’s voice
She’ll stay alert
You won’t catch her asleep.
Did you really think you could trap her?
Her King is far from weak
They say that looks are deceiving
But she’s not as exposed as you believe her to be.
More than this, His Spirit is in her
And she won’t move away from this hope
Her King is always able
And He’ll never let her go.
So take your trappings and keep them
You won’t force her to resign
You thought you had her, didn’t you?
You forget that her Jesus is the ultimate prize!

Checkmate?
He moved his piece
She moved hers next
That’s when she saw that he’d spread his net
Checkmate? Not so
Her King is strong!
Don’t count the girl out
She won’t be hedged in long.

Don’t Play Games With The Devil. Take the Escape.
“So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” –James 4:7
No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation He will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. —1 Corinthians 10:13
“If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell.” –Matthew 5:29
