Because He Told Me So

Because He Told me So I Danced with Demons and Devils And Sipped the Wine of Death. Everything Was Falling Apart Sinking down with Every Breath. To Go on That Way Was Folly, So I Would Take My Life. I Gave No Thought to Family, Or What Would Become of My Wife. I Raised the Gleaming Knife And Aimed it at My Breast. Tonight I'd Find Some Peace And at Last I Would Rest But Something Stayed My Hand And I Could Not Stab it In. Try as I Might I Couldn't Move... I Could Not See My End. Then a Voice Soft and Low Said," You've Better Things to Do Then Dance with Demons and Devils.. Don’t You Know I Love You Too? That's the Night I Learned I Wouldn't Have to Go Jesus Really Loves Me.. Because He Told Me So. The demons and devils are gone now Replaced by God’s glorious light I have a beautiful new love in my heart And the dawning of each new day ……. is a wonderful delight Connie Moore
