A part of me can't leave the devil alone
God keeps asking if I desire His home
God tells me the devil is a lie
But it seems no matter how hard I try
To resist
For some reason I can't tell the devil goodbye
Sometimes I gotta ask why
I want to leave it all behind
Why is my escape route so hard to find
I'm tired of this battlefield in my mind
Everyday I'm getting further from His line
It's a dangerous game when you're torn between the two
Lord, I really want to be with You
You constantly tell me to leave the devil alone
It's the same old song
There were no issues when God and I started out
That's not what His love's about
He allowed things to happen
I ended up getting burnt out
I couldn't understand it
I fell back in the mix
It's not always the devil, sometimes it's my fault
God keeps telling me satan is not what I want
I really want to be with You
Why do I seem to want to have my cake and eat it too
I do know I need to get my mind straight
Because if I don't, my relationship with You will separate
So many times I've had my foot out the door
So many times I've said, "I can't take it anymore!
God thought to give me a second chance
I tend to fight what I don't understand
Now here I am all confused
I know God has the answer
He always knows what to do
Shame on me for being the fool!
