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.
