Screwtape Letters

Devil deceives
Sheeply creeps
Enters the front door
always wants more.

Takes your pie
makes me cry!
Never sorry but sore
Aches and pains he brings
Doesn't let you sing....

If you want to sing out, sing out. That's a Cat Steven's lyric. Give the Devil his Screw. Good people must stand up, that's what we've gotta do. He brings us pain, drives us insane. It's time for Jesus to end his reign.
