Russian Roulette


It all started with a click I entered the game, unafraid because I knew His mercy was new Each Day Ready for whatever came my way because He would never leave me I’d point and click, taking my chances He said “don’t take this life for granted” Ignoring His voice, I continued to pull the trigger I figured this is the last time But I’m not Trey Songz, Eventually something will go wrong Each click helped me perform a new trick Deceived yet so pleased that I could keep going But I was tricked My sin had me fixed upon Deception .. Heading in the wrong direction His voice (yet again) suggested “Fall on your knees and come back to me” My voice overpowered his And I pulled the trigger…. Unleashing a world full of pain which was created with one grain of Sin My desires helped me finally win And it all started with one click
