Redeemed From The Darkness

[Susan Adair-Shankle]

The Lord witnesses & knows the sadness in one’s eyes 
The devil steals one’s joy; deceiving them with lies 
This includes being let down, lied to, or loss of a loved one 
Or even talked about, as though you are worthless and done 
What Satan intends for bad, the Lord turns it for good 
This is the Lord’s fact that should never be misunderstood 
You & your demised loved ones are still under one accord 
To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord 
If your enemies & haters think your life is worth nothing 
Remember that the Lord knows you are worth something 
If someone makes you upset or robs your joy & desire 
Keep this one thing in mind: the devil is a bold-faced liar 
Right now, something may have made you depressed 
But the Lord gives you power; knowing you are impressed 
Sickness, anger, and depression cannot bring you down 
You’ve been healed by the Lord who wears the crown 
It’s been said there’s a time to mourn & a time to rejoice 
The gift of song and praise is spoken from your voice 
Yesterday’s fears, tears and madness will never last 
For you have been delivered from Satan’s sinful past 
You’ve been redeemed from the darkness into God’s light 
His everlasting love signifies
