Turning to God

As I turn to you once again my Lord
The anger burning a hole thru my heart
What must I do this time to be restored
Why must all of my love have to depart

For the devil to just leave me alone
Why his demons attacked was unbeknown

Praying you will relieve me of this pain
Since I'm now using all this hurt to hurt
My heart has now slowed weakened by the strain
Thick skin keeps my soul totally inert

While the undeserved pain turns into sin
I'm left to battle the demons within

My trust assures God will be by my side
Offering his warm embrace full of love
And the strength that's needed he shall provide
To win my war and reach Heaven above
