Song Lyrics

"Take You On"

by John Schlitt
Album: Unfit For Swine

So many years I lived a lie,
What I wanted I could buy; everything but peace of mind,
And I kept on running.

You stood there, smiling wide,
Your plan for me was right on time,
My destination - suicide,
But God was there waiting.

I was once defenceless, but today we're standing strong.

I don't have to take you on alone anymore,
So good to know for sure,
I don't have to be afraid 'cause I know the score,
You can't scare me like before,
My strength is here from inside out,
A holy fire that leaves no doubt,
I don't have to take you on alone anymore.

Don't play with me, I'm not alone,
Give it up, you've lost control,
What you had you couldn't hold, and I'm getting stronger.

I don't have to stand in fear,
I know my strength is always near,
His voice is what I choose to hear,
I'm not yours any longer.

If you keep on pressing, this is what I say to you...

I don't have to take you on alone anymore,
So good to know for sure,
I don't have to be afraid 'cause I know the score,
You can't scare me like before,
My strength is here from inside out,
A holy fire that leaves no doubt,
I don't have to take you on alone anymore.

Holy Spirit, now I see that by your power I've been set free.

I don't have to take you on alone anymore,
So good to know for sure,
I don't have to be afraid 'cause I know the score,
You, you, you can't scare me like before,
My strength is here from inside out,
The holy fire that leaves no doubt,
I don't have to take you on alone anymore,
I don't have to take you on alone anymore,
I don't have to take you on alone anymore.
