- * GIVE BACK THE DEVILS DUE * - br br So quickly we forget br the lessons we did learn, br And for the sad and worldly things br We begin to yearn. br br We walk beside the evil br that engulfs our very soul br And unleash the demons' lurking br And we're loosing all control. br br The mad man of our minds br Entice these things unseen br Twisting and cajoling br Our intentions to demean. br br Our tempers flair like forest fires br Blazing ore the land br No buckets and no battlements br For we must take a stand br br To Praise Him or to turn our backs br On all that's good in life br I ask you Lord to take away br This misery and this strife br br Return to us the pleasantness br that comes from loving You br and give Satan back his yearnings br -Give back the devils due- br br Author: Carolyn Ford Witt br Ms.
