Analysis of Response Time
Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)
When Satan brings temptation and
He does so every day,
We must be quick to understand
That faith will win the day!
If we do not resist him fast,
Temptation might just last and last!
Please pray about what you should do
Before temptation shows
How strong desire can come to you
And cause you many woes!
