Knock It Down Done
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Misdeeds of evil people,
To stop and knock them down done.
Can not be done once to do defeated.
A knocking to succeed must be repeated.
To beat misdeeds behind to leave.
And with faith to keep believed,
Shown and made known...
Less will be the threats of evil,
Around to condone.
Leeches feed on weaknesses,
Sought to seek.
Masquerading in disguises,
Just to deceive.
A defeating of the faithful,
Who give their consent...
To smiling evil demons selling,
Sweetened devilment.
We can and we must,
Keep our faith and trust...
Since,
God sees everything and knows...
What's messed up.
We can and we must,
Keep our faith and trust.
Since...
God is there for us and knows,
When and how to fix...
All that is messed up!
Knock it down done, God!
With faith He will.
Knock it down done, God!
Will.
Knock it down done, God!
With faith He will!
Keep this belief.
Keep this belief, deep!
Keep this belief.
Keep this belief, deep!
