He Keeps Coming and Knocking by Jim Lorson Sr


must close and lock the window tight
to deter the creatures of the night

must keep my drapes drawn
after the end of daylight until dawn

under my covers I must hide
until the dark of night does subside

there it is, the tapping at my window
hoping it is tree branches, just don't know

whatever this may be, I hear those throaty sounds
and from a far I hear those 'were hounds'

I now know what he wants and what he is about
and why he wants me, he leaves no doubt

he is the master of all those living dead
can never have me, why? I live in God's grace instead

a rooster crows for the daylight
as this monster will try again tonight

this will not be the final sequel
even though he knows in God's faith I dwell

he will never stop trying to get my soul
for all we humans it is his ultimate goal
