HERE HE COMES AGAIN
by Nancy McPherson

IF THE DEVIL WOULD ONLY COME TO ME,
SNARLING WITH A HISS.
I WOULDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM,
HIS WOOINGS I'D RESIST

OR IF HE WOULD TRY TO TEMPT ME,
WITH DRUGS OR ALCOHOL
HE WOULDN'T WIN THE BATTLE,
CAUSE I'M NOT INTERESTED AT ALL.

HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHERE I'M WEAK,
AND KNOWS WHERE I AM STRONG.
SO HE HITS ME IN A WEAK SPOT,
AND MAKES ME DO WRONG.

THE DEVIL COMES CALLING,
LOOKING OH SO DEBONAIR.
AND TELLS ME WHAT I WANT TO HEAR,
ABOUT THE PROBLEMS I BARE.

HE SAYS NOBODY UNDERSTANDS,
OR CARES HOW I FEEL,
AND I HAVE A RIGHT TO GET UPSET,
WHEN I CAN'T PAY THE BILLS.

HE SAYS I SHOULD THROW A FIT,
TO GET MORE SYMPATHY,
THEN ALL WHO HEAR MY STORY,
WILL SAY, "OH POOR ME".

BUT I KNOW WHEN I LET HIM IN,
I'LL HAVE TO PAY THE COST,
CAUSE HE TAKES AWAY MY SONG OF JOY,
AND MY TESTIMONY'S LOST.

SO LORD PLEASE HELP ME,
TO FIGHT HIM WITH YOUR WORD,
CAUSE THAT'S THE WAY YOU DID IT,
AND IT WORKS FOR SURE.

I CANNOT DO IT BY MYSELF,
I MUST DEPEND ON YOU,
TO KEEP ME STRONG AND IN YOUR WILL,
IN EVERYTHING I DO.

AND LORD, PLEASE BLESS THE ONES I HURT,
WHEN I ACT SO HORRIBLY,
AND KICK THE DEVIL, WHERE IT HURTS,
ONE TIME FOR ME.
