Love and Despair

Such a melancholy figure so filled with tribulation Hitting you where it's sore in stealing all your elation He will not relinquish his hold but ask you to surrender He acts like he is so bold but is really just a big pretender He slowly begins to approach as he looks over his prey And he will soon begin to encroach having more of a say He may even sometimes leave as you think you are winning But something is up his sleeve as he's over there grinning Then soon he comes back around and just burst right in For in you he has found that this is an easy win Now no matter how hard you try or what you attempt to do You fall right back into his lie in once again feeling blue Next time you come across this guy just simply replace As you are on to his lie having now found God's Grace Put all his things in a big pile and toss them out the door His type is so vile and you don't need him anymore In God's Love you will be free relinquishing despairs own claim And such despair you will no longer see so you won't feel his shame Yes in God's Love all despair has been defeated his reign being done So you can become completed in the Glorious Love of God's Son
