Within My Sleeping Hours

Satan had a hold of me

Within my sleeping hours,

He crept inside my peaceful dreams

Clenching my soul with gripping power.

Although I struggled fiercely

I could not loose myself and flee,

I called upon Jesus name

“Dear Lord please rescue me”

The angel of darkness held me tight

He took away my breath,
I was paralyzed with crippling terror
I had no strength to fight!

I felt his malice and his rage

As I began to pray,

“Our Father who art in….”

That’s all I had to say!

His grip was torn
with lightning speed
His face winced in pain,
He cowered in the Holy Light 

And swiftly flew away.
