Deliverance From Deceit's Despair
Deceit devastated me!!!
…debilitating my dignity, darkening my disposition
…directing me to despair…
Then dread defrauded me --- doomed were my dazzling dreams!!!
…dictating my disaster-denial, discouraging me
…dwarfing my duties
Oh, dearth-disgrace debased me!!!
…degrading me to downfall’s detriment
…deterring my determination with doubting
…damning me as defenseless!
Despite the deceiver’s devices,
Dearest Defender* delivered me!
Day by day, my dryness’ drought He drove out.
Difficult days He turned to delight
Domination of depression He did defy!
Dwelling within His dealings I now do...
Departing from Him destines me to destruction.
Decrees He demands I dare to declare
Decided am I to dedicate my all to Him
Devoted to my Lord Who loves me indeed!
*Psalm 94:22 But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
