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
