Story Behind The Song

This song is a prayer written and arranged into a contemporary alternative pop composition. The struggle of falling into temptation and the glory of repenting to God is the inspiration behind this piece. Amen.

Song Description

A long, elegant piano introduction sways with the unusual and hypnotic drum pattern in this contemporary alternative pop piece about God and the devil. Tension in the verses, created with temporal and tonal variation in the guitar and drum parts, is released once again in the chorus refrain. A departed interlude ends the song on a dramatic note with the echoed vocals fading over a slow guitar solo rephrasing the chorus melody.

Lyrics

You came to me
Took my hand and showed me the light
I was lost and so afraid without you
And now I know that it?s true
So this is what it?s come to
I love you-
Sacrificed everything and gave me a new hope
I will try my best to do what is right
I?ve got to stop this tonight
I can?t keep losing this fight.

She took hold of me
Showed me things I?d never seen
I began to soar
All I wanted was more
But she deceived my soul
Left me in the cold
Yet I return to her in hopes of more pleasure until

You came to me
Took my hand and showed me the light
I was lost and so afraid without you
And now I know that it?s true
So this is what it?s come to
I love you-
Sacrificed everything and gave me a new hope
I will try my best to do what is right
I?ve got to stop this tonight
I can?t keep losing this fight.

She possessed my thoughts
Tied me up in her knots
Forced me to give in
I?m as guilty as sin
She knew all my fears
Drowned my eyes with tears
Lost the will to live until you said you?d forgive me

I could see her laughing at me
Thinking once again she had me
Looking right inside her eyes
I told her I realized
Never again would she stand between us baby

I could see her laughing at me
Thinking once again she had me
Looking right inside her eyes
I told her I realized
Never again would she stand between us Father
