A Soul to Save

A dark and dreary, haunted house
Surrounded by a gruesome gate,
Achingly summons this grieving louse,
On his most unlikely date…

Feeling desperate, swallowed whole,
By the gate’s despicable wrath,
A lost and shattered, vengeful soul,
About to take a fiery bath…

Grotesque trees and sickly weeds
By a wickedly stony well;
Souls do come from cruel misdeeds,
To this river where sinners dwell.

At last, I sing my fateful song,
A tune with all my love for God,
My faith and joy, so pure and strong,
This nightmare shares my soulful nod…
