When Discouragement Visits

When discouragement comes for a visit

Answer the door but don’t invite him in to sit

 If you give discouragement a comfortable chair

He’ll take over your home everywhere 

You’ll never get him to leave no matter what you do

The key when he knocks is to say no, thank you

Keep sending him off he’ll go away, at least for awhile 

 he’ll keep coming back knocking that’s discouragements style

So when discouragement comes knocking don’t let him through the door

One day he’ll be gone forever and won’t knock anymore
