I'M Defined, Strengthened, I'M Thankful

I'm Defined, Strengthened, I'm Thankful For years and years, Thanksgiving meant nothing to me. Far too much heartache I faced on this day. I lost my wife when I lost the love of my own life. I know my late wife still follows my plight. And let's not go here, but it's time that I do. I had to be caught up in this catch twenty-two. The tragedy had taken place on this day, And all I wanted was harmony at its play. A visit from Satan did come to our house this day, The cunning and baffling evil, he came to disarray. I need to make this clear so that you can see it. He came to bring harm to my kids and invaded my family. This Lord of Destruction only seeks to destroy, maim, and steal. Anyone, everyone, the happiness they feel? To take everything that our Father God has given. It will wilt, then they'll be on their kneel. Two of my children lost their innocence to his harm. We caught him in this act, We damn sure were alarmed! Satan and his minions, with the damage they had done. My children were already in despair; We were no longer strong being as one. For the rage and the hate I did feel, Those two emotions together brought me to kneel. I prayed, and I prayed, Please release me from convictions. If it had not come when it did, It would've led me back into addictions. It's over now; it has been for quite some time, being real. Though the Lord gave me strength, I'm thankful that I didn't kill him, for what Satan came to steal.
