Anger,
Rage,
Malice,
Contempt-
Far too much time have I spent
Feeding these little fiendish foes,
Treating them as guests within my woes-
Gave them priority in my thoughts,
Regardless of havoc they always
brought-
Will I learn before it’s too late?
Will I allow them to rule my fate?
They have no loyalties to me at all-
After devouring enemies, I hear
footfalls
As they return for me unsatisfied-
I’m filled with fear and to God I cry,
God,
I’ve gone too far- help me get back-
Release me from this anger attack-
The emotions come with awesome force
Centering me on their deadly course-
From my soul, I know You can drive
These evil thoughts that eat me alive-
With You I trust and know You’ll defend
When unjustly attacked and pushed to
the end-
Replace the rage with love and peace-
Joy and hope, may they never cease-
Fill me up, so I’ll overflow-
Give me wisdom, so I can grow-
Set me free from these heavy chains
That keep me bound and love refrained-
Open up these prison bars,
So I can soar and travel far-
May I step aside and let You be
The judge and jury, so I can be free-
Amen
