Analysis of The Devil will be slain
Over and over it escapes me.
These rays of evil I see.
The darkness points to me and blooms.
The devils see me in the rooms.
The evil tempts me little.
The devils have lost the battle.
God will give us grace to pummel sin.
God will help us repent and win.
For we have winners at heart.
Though we are dust we rise off the chart.
God has given us lightning to real.
God has given us eternal life to feel.
The devil no longer stands in my way
And to Lucifer God will slay.
