I close my ears because the sounds I hear are too loud
Pandemonium outside and inside me are a noisy crowd
But somewhere within I hear a still small voice
“If you block out the doubts, you’ll hear me beyond the noise”

I am seated in the hot seat about to face the test
“Your ineptness will certainly cut short your quest”
Sweaty palms, heavy breathing, the beginning of the end
“Say your prayers, calm your nerves and my strength I’ll lend”

I walk into a get together and nobody looks up at me
“Ugly thing! Look at the mirror and the reason you’ll see”
Stand by the side, put up a fake smile, this is just the start
“See! You are made in my image and likeness so don’t stand apart”

I bring flowers to my love who gives it to his love
“Thanks dear, matchmaker, all problems you can solve”
Cheer them on, maid of honor, she looks pretty in white
“That’s her man and yours will come when the time is right”

So that’s how to push the devil away
Let him talk but know that only God has a say
Hear him out, consider your flaws and let your heart drop
Throw his words away, pay attention to God’s voice and turmoil will stop
