The Exorcism
She looks beyond herself
Every chance she gets
Yet he still appears to
The shadows in her soul
She didn’t know evil
Until it touched her
And held her hostage
She feels forgotten
The city weeps not for her
Her family is unreachable
The evil in her soul
Isn’t hers, and was never
She prays for help
O Lord she cries to Him
Please save me for I am lost
I need you to find me
A voice responds and says
Come with me child
Come do this thing
I will walk with you
And she enters into a slumber
Where she shivers and shakes
She quakes and seizes
The evil entangles no more
The Lord smiles as he lets
Her rest and sways her dreams
She sees hope, she feels home
He brought heaven to her
The evil cast out
She is free now
She leaves her home
And never returns
For heaven is on earth
For her to witness
For her to experience
The Lord spake to her
You are saved.
