Wind and shadow cloaked in darkness
Whispers of the night…
Hooting owl, ghouls wrapped in rags
Grasp with deceit, in crippling clam they travel…
Swirls of ghosts and taunting things…
Treats of evil in terror brings…
Fear and doubt these lost souls sing…
Oh hallow not this night…
Glorifying demons creep to sever souls
And death to greet, those who dare to walk and sweep
The streets in masks to hide and seek…
Not for those who are mild and meek
They will search you out with trick or treat…
Not only pagan hands and pagan feet,
Are those who walk the darkened streets…
All in fun they say…
But who doth stand beneath the sheet?
Paying tribute to the devil and kiss his cheek
Do not lie upon his altar…
We must pray and never falter…
Deceived we dance with the devil on Halloween
In light of day there is no fear
But at nightfall they will draw near…
Will you join in this costly game…?
They know your face; they know your name…
No sacred place this hollowed scheme
Masked in deception called, Halloween…
You say, don’t be absurd tis only fun…
But the devil laughs he’s on the run…
Filling his bag with little ones…
This is his trick not treat…

Proverbs 3:5-12 The Message (MSG)
Trust God from the bottom of your heart;
don’t try to figure out everything on your own.
Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go;
he’s the one who will keep you on track.
Don’t assume that you know it all.
Run to God! Run from evil!
Your body will glow with health,
your very bones will vibrate with life!
Honor God with everything you own;
give him the first and the best.
Your barns will burst,
your wine vats will brim over.
But don’t, dear friend, resent God’s discipline;
don’t sulk under his loving correction.
It’s the child he loves that God corrects;
a father’s delight is behind all this.
