Thoughts and words of bigotry
And violence
Revenge and holy wars
Retaliation for being wronged
Are stirred within creating
A dark and fearsome storm
Of words and thoughts unknown
Hidden in my soul and heart a
Darkness buried deep within
A reflection seen while standing
At the opening of a well
At first merely a reflection of yourself
But searching deep within the water
Can be found the depths of hell
Darkness of the deepest night a
Heaviness of weight held tight
Every vengeful thought is strong
Attempting to steal the beauty of this
Special Night
Crying in prayer I beg of Thee to wash
Away my sin forgive the anger released
And my strong desire to avenge
In earnest prayer I’m washed with tears
To cleanse this darkness now revealed
I ask for grace to comfort me and strength
To turn the other cheek
Forgive this tortured soul this night who
Chose to rob our festive light
In prayer Dear God give us all relief
From anger and its fury that robs us
Of the presence of Your great glory
