when she was asleep in her bed <br />she heard a pounding in her head. <br /> who can be knocking at this ungodly hour? <br />for in this house, the devil has no power. <br /> <br /> when she heard a voice outside her door! <br /> <br /> 'open the door and i will give you riches and fame <br /> if but once you call my name.' <br />hearing this voice outside her door ' she responded' <br /> <br />but! this is the house of the LORD, you see. <br />i will not open up for someone like thee. <br /> you can not give me what i desire <br />and i will not follow you into the fire. <br /> so leave my door- never to return ever more. <br /> <br />the devil responded: <br />but! i can give you all these things <br />and you don't have to kneel before me. <br />i can give you eternal life <br />if you but- become my wife. <br /> <br />she responded: before my LORD i will kneel <br />my heart and soul, he can heal. <br /> eternal life- i will have with him <br />and not have to commit a sin. <br /> <br />so take away all your promises and foolish ways <br />for i have nothing more to say. <br /> my LORD is with me- i will not sway. <br /> <br />so with this he left her door <br />to return never more.<br /><br />louis rams<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/devil-at-my-door-2/
