When I Was a Child
When I was a child, I laid awake in bed
As the shadow man hovered neither awake nor dead
From the hallway, he lingered projecting his hate
As a reminder of our impending date
Even as a child, I knew what it was
I knew what he wanted and what he does
Pure evil could never be denied
That’s why he laughed and why I cried
Soon he was gone and I was set free
Finally the devil had lost interest in me
But I cursed GOD for not showing his face
Another case where prayers didn’t receive his grace
Then it came to me and I couldn’t help but smile
The devil did torture me for a little while
But he never made it in to silence my plea
Because he saw the SON standing behind me
