Fear In God Lyrics

I barely made it three steps through the corridor
And I decide I couldn't take it anymore
Then I headed my way out to Santa Fe
Where I learned you can't drink all your pain away

Face to face, on the fence
Bow my head, there's a voice that says

Hurry up son, it's getting late
And the devil thaws at the end of the day
He's gonna tempt you
You're gonna shake
Get on your knees when you don't wanna pray
Fear in God will be your saving grace
Take it easy, come now
Take it easy, come now

I was shy and sixteen when I thought I'd die
I was broken and robbed of the light inside
So far down a beaten path, I sent off the last breath

Face to face, on the fence
Bow my head, there's a voice that says

Hurry up son, it's getting late
And the devil thaws at the end of the day
He's gonna tempt you
You're gonna shake
Get on your knees when you don't wanna pray
Fear in God will be your saving grace
Take it easy, come now, oh
Take it easy, come now

Oh, take it easy, come now
And oh, the fear in God will be your saving grace
Oh, and fear in God is the only way
Oh, take it easy, come now
