temptation
Jason Eady Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I watch and pray that I don't fall
My spirit's strong, my flesh is weak
We walk when we, the tempters, call
Hold on tight, my soul to keep
Hold on tight, my soul to keep

We won't let ourselves be led
We'll never turn these stones to [?]

Well I wear the crown and stand high
The devils come to take it off
I look down how high we've climbed
The angels catch us before we fall
Angels catch us before we fall

We won't let ourselves be led
We'll never turn these stones to [?]

The world below is filled with sin
It calls us all, tortures some
We both know we could give in
And rule the world, let kingdoms come
Rule the world, let kingdoms come

We won't let ourselves be led
We'll never turn these stones to [?]

Well I watch and pray that I don't fall
My spirit's strong, my flesh is weak
We walk when we, the tempters, call




Hold on tight, my soul to keep
Hold on tight, my soul to keep
