Cannot compare to Love that fills
Our heart’s desires, for on that hill

In agony o’er all his sin,
And victory o’er sin does win.

People peek behind the curtains
Life now surely so uncertain
Evil is around the corner
In the shadows, under cover
Waiting, tempting, looks for targets
Self-indulgent always searching
Dreamers, sluggards, time a wasting
Fearing not...
