Devil S Hold Poem by louis rams

The devil had came and took a hold of me, but GOD
Came and set me free.
There was temptations all around and that's where I'd be found.
Hurting myself and so many others, not caring for sisters or brothers
I was cussin, gambling, womanizing too - this was the life that I knew.
My body was invaded by drugs and booze - this was a battle
I knew I would lose.
Falling to the ground - I couldn't get up and with the sky above
Me and the ground below - that's when I knew I had no place to go.
I looked up to the heavens and I started to pray
"OH GODtake this away "
There are so many things that I have to do, to find peace and happiness too.
I felt arms pick me up and make me stand - yet when I turned and looked
There was no one's helping hands.
I heard someone speaking to me: yet there was no one that I could see.
"just follow the path that you now see and from the devil s grasp
You will be free "
I followed this path of sun and light and all of GOD S beauties are
In plain sight.
