High Stakes

Here I am sitting at a table playing for high stakes
Across from me is the Lord of hosts also at the table
The Lord of darkness with his dominion left and right

The blinds are set the cards are cut the dealer deals
I am given a pair of deuces the betting now begins
But instead of betting chips was something more

With his snake like eyes Lucifer bets fame and fortune
The King of kings with His piercing eyes staring back
Says I call you got nothing devil

Greed in my eyes I quickly call with sweat running down my face
Dealer lays the flop down Ace, Ace, eight bringing a grin to Satan
The face of Christ never flinches just looks as if into my soul

With the evil grin still on His face Father of Lies bets with flesh
The Son of God says can’t fool me you serpent Im calling you
Really sweating now with hands shaking I call

The turn comes with another eight and the devil’s eye twitches
He says Im all in Im betting your soul to be dammed forever in hell
The eyes of the perfect Lamb looks at me again calls with sad eyes

My pair of deuces no longer any good staring at the dead mans hand
Shirt now soaked with sweat palms sweaty I now know this is for keeps
All of a sudden I feel a new breath inside and a sense of calm I fold

My fate floating on the river and now in the hands of the Messiah
The dealer lays down another eight and the Devil smirks with glee
With beads of sweat on His forehead goes all in life for death

Blood can now be seen on the head of the Holy One and in His eyes
Blood and water also flows at His side holes in His hands and feet
With one last breath says I call

Triumph in the eyes of Satan lays down a full house with excitement
Just when the Devil thought he won it all the hand of Christ fell down
With new life two Aces were revealed with four of a kind Christ won

Now what if I was you and you were playing against the King of Kings
And the Father of lies would put your hand in that of Christ to be Lord
Or will you be bluffing with your pair of deuces against four Aces
