BEYOND MEASURE
BEYOND MEASURE
There he sits in the corner
bidding his time waiting waiting ever waiting
He picks his bloodstained teeth while
waiting waiting waiting
His teeth are stained from the blood of
the many saints he had wounded in his quest for their soul
His fangs and claws poised for another killing strike
his evil is in that corner
I feel his presence I smell his decaying breath
His yellow eyes flash all about seeing who else he can destroy
Then I feel Another's presence
Strong and mighty as He takes His regal stance
Standing between me and the flashing yellow eyes
His presences fills my room with great peace and mighty joy
His name I had called on before I lay down
"please I ask for Your healing balm on my body
Restore to me my physical strength the enemy
wants to steal
From the top of my head to the bottom of my feet
to the tips of each of my fingers
New life into me I pray You make flow
This is a gift that only You can give"
His warm healing hands I do feel
soft as a mother's touch when soothing her suffering child
I close my eyes and again thank my Lord
for His gift of healing He gives to me
I ask Him while He was there to bless my children
and their lives to please restore
He gave me peace beyond measure
He gave me the assurance He is here and near to them too
I close my eyes and drift off to sleep
I feel His angels presence near to me
Safe and secure in His protection I sleep
Knowing the evil one has been banished from my home
