Keeping Me

by Ashley Tyler   Mar 21, 2006


God was knocking on my door
Before the drama went down.
I was smoking on blunts;
I was sipping on crown,
I was all around.

I have new feelings,
And I'm looking crazy.
My old life seemed hazy,
But God kept me steady.

Kicking it with a spirit from downtown.
God told me some drama was about to go down-
I didn't get from around....the danger.

I had the devil in the back seat.
God had me strapped tight with the light....
In case he brought the heat.

I was chilling on the driver side.
The devil in disguise,
Leading me straight to hell-
A dangerous ride!

The Lord heard a cry.
God don't let me die.
He saw me fall to my knees,
And the tears rolling down my eyes

Call the Lord, hold me Lord!
Will you grab the pain?
I had to open my ears
So He could explain.

He said, "You'll be okay!
Tell the enemy, Not today,
Because I don't play,
About judgment day!"

Lord, You heard me screaming,
Come and squeeze me!
I broke down screaming,
Dont You leave me!

The devil pumping on my chest...
Trying to bring me back.
Wanting me to greet death-
With my last breath.

I drop to my knees,
Lord, please help me.
If the devil take me,
I'll go crazy.

The Lord heard my cry,
He said, "You're not going to die!"
He didn't give me a reprobate mind,
And I wonder why.

He laid His hand on me,
And through His mercy,
He's preparing me.

My heart has knew sensations,
And my bodies shaking.
I told the devil, I'm taken..
You can't have me, Satan!

I keep my knees on the ground,
And I raise my hand.
I have to ask God,
What is Your plan?

I'm thinking......
What do You want from me?
I'm thinking.......
What is my destiny?

I didn't listen,
And I fell into my old life.
The devil knows my weakness,
God said, "That's alright!"

I'm hurting God.
The devil stole my joy.
I don't know why at times-
I get so coy.

As He puts to rest,
The things on my chest.
I'm thinking.....
What's next?

As the tears roll....
Satans pulling at my soul.
The devil broke me down....
Now I'm screaming, Lord no!

I plead the blood of Jesus.
He won't let me die.
All the second chances,
I gotta wonder why.

If the devil catches me,
I know that my life is through.
If I have to stay on my knees,
That's what I'm gonna do.

Because I caught Your tug,
You're showing me love.
I need not worry-
When I'm covered up with mud.

If I obey,
I won't be full of pain,
Because through Him,
I will sustain.

The devils at my back door-
Trying to tell me lies.
Tears in my eyes...
I don't want to die!

God told me,
"Satan, I will defeat,
And for those who don't believe,
Will bow to Me!"
