Story behind the song
My second song.
Lyrics
Wrestled With the Devil
Verse 1
I was in the Devil’s headlock; I feared it was the end;
I struggled with temptation, and then I did give in.
Now in a ring of trouble caused by willful sin,
I prayed for my forgiveness, I prayed “Lord…
“I need a friend.”
Chorus
I wrestled with the Devil He had my shoulders pinned,
Now I’ve tag-teamed with Jesus, He saved me from my sin;
I got tired of fighting single in a battle I can’t win;
I wrestled with the Devil, but my Jesus did him in.
Verse 2
Now humbled by my freedom from the trouble I was in;
I’ve learned my limitations and to trust in my new friend
Now I travel with my partner everywhere I go;
I don’t leave home without Him; He’s the champion…
Of my show.
Chorus
I wrestled with the Devil He had my shoulders pinned,
Now I’ve tag-teamed with Jesus, He saved me from my sin;
I got tired of fighting single in a battle I can’t win;
I wrestled with the Devil, but my Jesus did him in.
Tag:
I wrestled with the Devil, but my Jesus did him in.
