The Imp of Fear

  Imp definition... A small demon or mischievous child.


Hence upon the soul comes slyly 

This impish fellow with impish grin

and on his coattails fear and doubt come sliding in

The subtle whispers in the night

 to little ones he gives a fright

and as he gains new ground

anxious lies begin to circle round

The what ifs and what about

impishly creating more doubt

That little imp clamoring in your head

building stories filled with dread

Dropping seeds that feed our fear

doom and gloom allowed near

To stop this little wimp 

only to look upon Him

The one who is above it all

The God who makes giants fall

The little imp's only power is in telling lies

Taking thoughts captive to break the ties

Retraining our brains to see and discern

Time to let impish falsehood burn
