The thin edge of the wedge

They say "resist the devil
And he will flee from you"
I have been sorely tested
I tell you it is true...
If we give in to temptation?
Just one time: we are lost
The next time will be harder
For he seeks to conquer us
Any little relaxation of our will 
Any little hesitation on our part
Gives him that tiniest edge...
Gives him that thinnest wedge
That chance to tempt us will be
His utmost privilege: his joy 
Temptation will come upon us: yes
Come upon us over and over again
Little by little we will slip and fall
It wont seem that bad: just a little bit
Little by little he leads us to an epic fail
Better to resist than look back later on
When it's too late to turn tail...
