There's an old tear stained, worn King James
|
Bible on my lap
|
I can hear mama now say it won't let you down
|
And it never has
|
So I turn to the Psalms straight to the one
|
That I can quote by heart
|
But the words that used to comfort me are tearing me apart
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
|
He leaded me through death's dark valley
|
And by still waters too
|
Surely goodness and his mercy
|
Are gonna pull me through
|
But tonight I've wrestled wit the devil
|
Wrestled with the truth
|
If the lord is my shepherd
|
And I shall not want
|
Why do I still want you
|
|
All my friends say this will end
|
You're not the one for me
|
Cause I'm the kind that loves for life
|
And your the kind that leaves
|
So I've been praying and I've been waiting
|
For some kind of peace
|
But you haven't phoned and I'm leaning on Old Psalms twenty-three
|
|
[Repeat chorus]
|
|
Yeah tonight I've wrestled with the devil
|
Wrestled with the truth
|
If the lord is my shepherd
|
And I shall not want
|
Why do I still want you
|
