Screwtape Letters

Devil deceives Sheeply creeps Enters the front door always wants more. Takes your pie makes me cry! Never sorry but sore Aches and pains he brings Doesn't let you sing....

If you want to sing out, sing out. That's a Cat Steven's lyric. Give the Devil his Screw. Good people must stand up, that's what we've gotta do. He brings us pain, drives us insane. It's time for Jesus to end his reign.
