I'm Defined, Strengthened, I'm Thankful
For years and years,
Thanksgiving meant nothing to me.
Far too much heartache I faced on this day.
I lost my wife when I lost the love of my own life.
I know my late wife still follows my plight.
And let's not go here,
but it's time that I do.
That, I had to, been, caught-up in,
this catch twenty-two.
A tragedy took place on this day,
and all I wanted was; harmony at its play.
A visit from Satan,
he did come to our house this day,
the cunning and baffling evil;
but he came to disarray.
I need to make this clearer to you so that you can see?
He came to bring harm to my kids;
he invaded my family.
This Lord of Destruction;
that he seeks to destroy, maim, and steal.
Anyone, everyone, the happiness they feel?
To take everything that our Father God has given,
it will wilt and in a keel.
Two of my children lost their innocence to his harm,
we caught him in this activity if you want to talk about some hell,
we damn sure were alarmed!
Satan and his minions,
the damage they had done by the time we got there,
my children were already in their despair;
we were no longer as strong as being one.
For the rage and the hate that I did feel,
those two emotions together;
brought me to kneel.
I prayed, and I prayed,
please release me from these convictions.
If it had not come when it did,
it would have led me back into addictions.
It's over now;
it has been for quite some time,
being real.
I'm thankful, though,
that I didn't kill him,
and that I'm not sad for what Satan came to steal.
