Demons Within
by Roger Montgomery ã
Demons inside you
Almost drive you insane
You opened the door to let them in
How do you let them out again?
It was exciting when they knocked
Actually
they seemed tame
But after they moved in
It didnt seem the same.
They play on your emotions
Over and over again
They rob you of your peace
They cause you so much pain.
Nobody seems to understand
To me it seems so plain
I have the inside information
Each time they act up again.
I can hear them calling
I can recognize their name
I can feel them laughing
I no longer like this game.
Maybe I should have stopped
Maybe I should abstain
Not allow them to come back
Time and time again.
Pastor says I need counseling
Valium or Prozac is the doctors game
Charismatics think I need deliverance
But Im not part of anybodys team.
Family says I need help
Im getting to be a strain
The burden makes me unlike myself
Its a hell without a name.
If I die, will I live
And face these demons again
Will I enter a world of peace
If not, I think Ill scream.
The Bible says Jesus can save me
And make my heart so clean
But then Id have to repent
Or the demons will come back again.
I believe when I opened the door
It was to a world of sin
If I had kept the door closed
They could not have entered in.
I think I was born with some
They invited others to come in
I wish they would go to hell
And never come back again.
Once you go down this path
Its hard to get back up again
Unless you have some help
Some one to lend a helping hand.
If I could find someone to pray
Maybe I could live again
I wish I knew where to look
Help rid me of this sin.
I would like to live a normal life
I would like to live again
Make my own choices
Feel so clean within.
Theres a demon I call lust
Misery is its game
It is never satisfied
It drives me on again.
There is no peace from its desires
It desires to be satisfied time and again
But it only seems to grow
Its so hard to tame.
They want to drive me crazy
They want to drive me insane
They attack my spirit
They end up affecting my brain.
The Bible says to flee from it
Dont try to play its game
There are too many losers
Many strong men has it slain.
It reminds me of a mosquito
Its a nuisance I disdain
Try to shoo it away
But it shows up again.
Ignore it and it shows up
Causes a itching I cant explain
It sure causes a lot of trouble
For such a little thing.
Bitterness and resentment, they show up
It must seem so plain
Whose side are they on
Their tactics cause so much pain.
Unforgiveness is a hard one
Theres pleasure in so much pain
I am wounded so I will hurt
Over and over again.
Maybe I should give this one to God
Its the only Way I can refrain
I must forgive to be forgiven
Then I can live and be free again.
I wonder what are your demons
Im not an expert or even trained
But theres eggs in chicken houses
And demons inhabit men.
Demons dont like to be exposed
They point out someone else is to blame
Like the church is full of hypocrites
Theres no such thing as demons, you understand.
Imperfections of others are their excuse
After all, youre just a man
If they can shift attention to others
Their kingdom may remain.
They try to keep me from God
Im thirsty and I need rain
Ive been walking through dry places
Is the pleasure worth the pain?
Maybe I should go to church
And see which demons remain
I can make them miserable too
The presence of God causes them pain.
I dont really have life and peace
I feel so dead within
But I know the source of hope
And how to be delivered from my sin.
God can change my heart
And give me peace within
He can chase away my demons
When His Spirit comes in.
God, deliver me wont you please
Let me be born again
Deliver me from these demons
Give me peace within.
Take away my past heartaches
Make my heart real clean
Fill me with your Spirit
Thank God, I can born again.
He can change this wicked heart
When His Spirit comes in
My body becomes His temple
Hell chase away these fiends.
Well, God has given us a choice
And it seems so plain
If you dont like to live with the devil
You must be born again.
