Stay of execution |
|
Strong is your hold, oh mortal flesh |
|
And now I've fallen to you again |
|
Mighty's the faith that overcomes |
|
But somehow you always seem to win |
|
Stay of execution |
|
Stay of execution |
|
On the straight and narrow path of life |
|
The word always comes to lift me up |
|
Brings me to my feet when I fall |
|
But you lie in waiting to bring me down |
|
Stay of execution |
|
Stay of execution |
|
And so the struggle still goes on |
|
Between the spirit and the flesh |
|
Knowing His Word will make me strong |
|
For the tormenting of my flesh |
|
Stay of execution |
