The Dying Room

“I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way.
O when wilt thou come unto me?
I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes:
I hate the work of them that turn aside;
it shall not cleave to me.”
Psalms 101:2-3

In the Dying Room
Families gather around
In the Dying Room
What sinful sights and sounds?

In the Dying Room
Demons seize the upper hand
In the Dying Room
A one eyed monster idol stands

In the Dying Room
Soul’s back-slide away from life
In the Dying Room
They are waxing as cold as ice

In the Dying Room
Visions are conjured through a demon's door
In the Dying Room
God's Word is neglected and not explored

In the Dying Room
No longer on praying knees
In the Dying Room
What wicked sights the children see?

In the Dying Room
Convictions drain away
In the Dying Room
Sin's pleasures make their stay

In the Dying Room
Hearts are hardened against the light
In the Dying Room
Satan wins without a fight

In the Dying Room
Souls are damned right where they dwell
So why do we call it a “Living” Room
When it’s a TV Room of Death straight out of hell?

“Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
Awake to righteousness, and sin not;
for some have not the knowledge of God:
I speak this to your shame.”
1st Corinthians 15:33-34
