In dreams I am dancing with the Lord,
It's a slow and glorious waltz -
I'm waking as the devil cuts in,
His two-step praising my faults.

A twist of uncontrolled movement,
And I begin to doubt my own feet-
Until I call for the Lord to come,
And bring back the dance so sweet.

I get lost in the soft, soothing melody,
As we glide to the dear angels song,
That's when He shows His love for me,
And proves the devil so wrong.

Heavens canopy is our ballroom,
Twinkling stars - our only light,
Doves and angels surrounding us,
As I fall gently to sleep for the night.

I love it!!
Just like ole Satan to cut in while dancing with the Lord. A beautiful message as Jesus takes back control.

how cool is that - dancing with the Lord under the heavens on a cool night (ok well that's the image i got, sorry if it's wrong). I really liked this - it has real feel to it, and a sense of everything being under control when Jesus is there, that even when Satan cuts in, all we have to do is ask Christ to come and replace him, and he does.  Really well-writen, i like your style, it's simple but conveys so much!  Bless you!
