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 he leadeth 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 with 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 you re 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 he leadeth 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 with the devil wrestled with the truth if the lord is my shepherd and i shall not want why do i still want you 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
