Darkness Dethroned

I can still feel his breath,

Raising the hairs on the back of my neck.

Gripped in unearthly frost,

Chilled to the bone.

 

He is Darkness.

He is a roaring lion.

He is a quiet whisper,

Amplifying the doubts of my mind.

 

And that night,

I felt the chill

And heard the Demon calling.

He couldn't have my soul,

So he came for everything else.

 

He whispered lies in my ears,

Of earthly greatness.

Because he could not have me for eternity,

He wanted me while on earth.

 

The principalities and powers of this earth,

Enemies of the Most High,

Came knocking at my door,

And they came to sow destruction in doubt.

 

That night, Hell was knocking at my door.

But the Father of Lies has no place in my heart or my home.

It was not I, but Christ has kept him from me.

I thank Him that I did not listen to the voice.

 

He wanted my soul;

He could not have it.

He tried to take my life,

But he will NEVER have it.

 

Hell came knocking at my door,

And my God dethroned the Prince of Darkness.

"He couldn't have my soul,
So he came for everything else."
I love these two lines...
And the whole poem for that matter.
I believe you more than I think I could ever really explain.
But I do..
