Don't Let The Devil Take Me Now

DON’T LET THE DEVIL TAKE ME NOW © KURT MAHONEY

Won’t you help me, Jesus
I’m sinkin’ fast
I’m runnin’ on fumes
And I know it can’t last
I thought my soul would always see me through
Got nothin’ else left
So I’m countin’ on you
I’ve been a sinner, a drunkard, and a thief
I’ve told you many times before
I’d turn a new leaf

So don’t let the devil take me now
I hear him breathing
And I know he’s on the prowl
Don’t let the devil take me now
Give me one more chance
Don’t let the devil take me now

I’m starin’ at these walls
Tryin’ to break these chains
Nothin’ but tequila runnin’ through my veins
There ain’t no reason why you should hear my cry
I’ve used up every single alibi
But maybe you know somethin’ I don’t know
Maybe I’ve got just one more row to hoe

So don’t let the devil take me now
I hear him laughing
At the sweat on my brow
Don’t let the devil take me now
Give me one more chance
Don’t let the devil take me now






The sun is rising
A new day is near
This world keeps turning
And I’m still sittin’ right here
Show me a sign
Won’t you send me a dream
Give me some kind of clue
As to what this all means
My body’s aching
And my spirit’s low
I’m yours for the taking
Got nowhere else to go

Don’t let the devil take me now
Show me where to sign
And I’ll take the vow
Don’t let the devil take me now
Give me one more chance
And I’ll make it up to you somehow
But don’t let the devil take me now
Show me where to sign
And I’ll take the vow
Don’t let the devil take me now
Give me one more chance
Don’t let the devil take me now
