Knocking

Dear Lord i need some protection

Satan keeps knocking

i keep the door locked very tight

yet i tend to answer it

i keep telling myself don't let him in

but right when he is about to turn and walk 
away i always do

it's like i need the shot of evil at that moment

yet after this is all over i think why

why did you let him in

look at the bad he has just done

knowing now i need to work hard to make things better

lord for i have sined i let evil in once more

god come into my soul help me ward him away

for i promise when he knocks next time i wont be home
