Meet me at Midnight

Take me away from the evil Lord!

For I just want to be good and to do good

But the evil temptation and sin lurk at every

Corner and so I run fast away from them everyday.

But, even if the evil doesn’t get me today, tomorrow or

This week it’s always around, waiting for an unlucky victim.

It’s evil fog lingers at the edge of the garden, waiting for me.

To make the wrong mistake and touch the fruit from the tree that is not meant for me.

I try to withstand the temptation  but it is so strong the pull, I’m trying to break the chain.

So I don’t end up like Adam and Eve, I want to make the good outweigh the evil.

So I’m going to stand strong in this garden at midnight and set the evil straight with a touch of your light.

Pushing the evil fog away for good, and know once it is gone life will be better.

But the struggle of evil and good will still be around, but knowing Lord this battle I do not fight alone.

For it’s you and me until the end, and I’m listening to every

Word you have to say and I’m trying with all my might to do it your way.
