Is there an angel to watch over me
Is he upstairs in Heaven watching me sleep
If I could ask him one simple thing:
Don't let the Devil have me

I feel Him on the rise now
I think He's gonna hold out
And if He doesn't hold out
I'll be fighting on my own

And if it's in my own strength, I will wave a white flag
The devil is a strong man
And I'll never make it home to where I was

Tell me a story that I can believe
Of age-old redemption that fights over me
Is there a question of who will have won
When I get to Heaven, He'll call me His son

I feel Him on the rise now
I know He's gonna hold out
'cause if He wouldn't hold out
I would already be gone

If I have the arm strength, I will wave a white flag
I have never been a strong man
But I gotta make it home

The devil is a strong man
But I've got to make it home where I belong
