Sometimes these dark thoughts inside
torment me, and I cannot hide.
The enemy wants to ensnare me,
he whispers, "come on, dare me."
Sometimes this loneliness overwhelms me,
and I feel hopeless and sad.
Then I remember the devil dances with glee,
everytime I feel bad.
Many times I've wondered
how much better off I would be,
if I took that step and ended this life,
what would be in store for me?
But I'm smart enough to know,
not to play into the devil's hands
trying to win my soul
is all part of his evil plan.
Instead, I look to Jesus
to lead me through this gloom.
He takes my hand and walks with me
and he says, "don't give up, or the devil is your doom."
So I continue on with this life,
until that beautiful day
when I shall see Jesus
and look upon his face, if I may.
