In dreams you retreat to the deepest corners of your mind
Things that are hidden in the dark have been put on pedestals in the light
Like                        
That one day you smoked ****
At the park when you thought no one was looking
Or that time you slept in a mans bed
Thinking someone might see you wasn't in your head
Or maybe like that time you looked up pornagraphic videos on your momma's computer screen
Thinking no one will know if I clear the history
Like that one time you tried to slit your wrists, but fell asleep before you could get to it and
You still thought no one was watching

That night in your dream you woke up
Startled, feeling a presence and you looked to the left
Sitting in the corner of your sisters bed
Was a demon, face painted red
Long nails, sunken eyes, trying his hardest to hide
But God needed you to see and he shined his light

You spent a while wondering,
What did that dream mean?
Asking questions like why didn't God intervene?
But it was God that was trying to tell you that night
Your timing didn't fit with his but still He tried
Your thoughts screaming out, this is why,
The reason you chose not to end your life

Because you didn't choose
In fact you had no say,
It just wasn't God's will, not that day
It was his plan for you to do greater things
And you were too busy blaming, you couldn't see
You didn't realize that God was the one who woke you up that night
To show you your demons, and later, teach you to fight.
I mean isn't that right?
At church camp you learned you had the gift of discernment
Now go ahead and show everyone you earned it
There is no reason to see your demons and be afraid
Because you have Jesus, you've broken your chains.
