THE DEVIL TRIED...

The devil tried, the devil tried God forbid I tell another lie The devil wants my soul tonight But Lord, don't let 'em take my light I been talkin' to the man in the sky To keep my ears and eyes open wide My earthly ways won't lead me right So God, give me an angel tonight He don't care about the stars I seek 'Cause sin's gonna seep into everything Trouble and suffering is all I see So Jesus, won't you comfort me The devil tried, the devil tried God forbid I tell another lie The devil wants my soul tonight But Lord don't let 'em take my light The devil tried, the devil tried God forbid I tell another lie The devil wants my soul tonight But Lord don't let 'em take my light The pain I've seen, the places I've gone I thought that bottle was gonna bring me home Convinced myself that I could handle my own But oh, how little did I know I'm prayin' again, think I been seein' signs I want a love like Jesus and his bride But he's gonna come through every time I walk by faith, and not by sight The devil tried, the devil tried God forbid I tell another lie The devil wants my soul tonight But Lord don't let 'em take my life The devil tried, the devil tried God forbid I tell another lie The devil wants my soul tonight But Lord don't let 'em take my life
