Devil In My Kitchen
Devil In My Kitchen
Eyes wide open staring at the ceiling
Body aching, heart breaking
The voice in my head
Is telling me to stay in bed
First on my knees, thanking you
For another day light
Lord please strengthen me for today’s fight
Coffee perking, breakfast sizzling,
Wake up children, time to get ready
Through the ahs and oohs and alarm clocks ringing
The voice in my head is quietly singing
Slow down, give up, work will always be around
Four sets of feet sounding like wild horses stampeding
Come in to the kitchen with smiles on their faces
Gathering around the table and set in there places
The last child plants a kiss and exits the door
When the door close my spirit dropped to the floor
The voice is ranting I can make the pain go away
Soothing and gently, just listen to me today
I have clothes to wash
Kitchen to do and bedroom too
The list in my head is long,
The hurt in my heart is wrong
I pray Lord make my spirit strong
Go to battle with the enemy in my head
I fear he definitely wants me dead
I’m pressing my love’s work clothes
Than later I will paint my toes
Lord please dress me up fine
Later my love and I will candlelight dine
Lord, Lord take the devil out of my mind
I see a knife in my chest, my car rolling
off the bridge, a gun in my hand
Lord these thoughts are purely in sane
He’s chanting and ranting, now down right angry
Kneeling on my knees, again I pray
I don’t have time for the devil today
Lord God Almighty please make him go away
Evenings near, my mind is now clear
Chores are done, the end of another day
The Lord has chased the devil away.
