A subtle ploy

How subtle was that ploy today
In the message where an old friend would say
"Have you been looking for me?"
Wouldn't you like to come and see
What we could have been missing
As we try to make our old life history
Attempting to plant a seed of wonder.
Could this old friend that I have been trying to put under,
Have something better than what God has for me today?
"No, I will not give in to the old yoke of slavery,
Turning my back on what God has for me...."
