With Mother on Her Knees, the Devil Flees

With Mother on Her Knees, the Devil Flees

by Margaret Cagle

Some demons were meeting to decide Ken's fate.
"We have to act now; we cannot wait.
Young Ken has sinned many times before.
We need to entice him to sin even more."

"If we keep him over on Satan's side,
Straight into Hell his soul will ride.
Yes, for Satan we can win his soul.
You know that's every demon's goal."

One demon screamed out in the meeting,
"I think we're about to take a beating!
I'm hearing something that we all hate,
So I think our meeting is a little late."

"I see Ken's mother down on her knees,
Crying to God with desperate pleas.
She's praying, 'Please save my son tonight!
Don't let him get into a fatal fight.'"

Ken met up with Al to go to a bar,
But they went to a different place by far.
"Ken, my uncle from up north came down.
He's preaching a revival meeting in town."

"I promised my dad that I would go.
We can go to the bar later, though."
"Okay, Al, I'll go to church with you.
We can hang out when church is through."

That night the Holy Spirit spoke to Ken.
"You're going to Hell if you die in your sin."
Ken walked the aisle during altar call,
And upon his knees then Ken did fall.

Ken asked Jesus to save his sinful soul
And yielded his life to God's control.
His mother's prayers were answered then,
And the demons lost and did not win.

Is there even one demon that dares
To try to defeat a mother's prayers?
When a Godly mother kneels down to pray,
The Devil just flees and goes away.
