Invisible and Uninvited



Father let not the demons stay
Regardless that they be fallen angels
I trust no words that they say
For humans we must remain humble

They come with arms wide open
But in the days of their rage
Not all is left unbroken

Maybe they have not malicious intent
But they did cause the first man to stumble
Trust not the voices in my head but the scriptures that You have sent

I need not an invisible friend we already have an invisible Father
Throw them not on a lake of fire, just get them away from my bed

I have already suffered a fall and crumbled
No more do I need the troubles
If it is at Your own behest
Then do as You do best
