Verse 1
Lost my religion. Ain’t got no faith. I’m going down, down, down, down, down.

Livin’ my own way. Just taking up space. I’m going down, down, down, down, down.

Livin’ on the edge can cut you deep. All you do, do, do is bleed.

Laying on the ground. Been knocked out cold. The devil wants, wants, wants my soul.

The devil wants, wants, wants my soul.

​

Verse 2
Sail’n on an ocean. Lost at sea. The waves are pound’n down on me. 

Winds are blowing. No land in sight. It’s a cold, cold, cold, cold night.

Look’n at my life. Where am I going? I’m going down, down, down, down, down.

I’m all alone. No one to hold. The devil wants, wants, wants my soul.

Yeah, the devil wants, wants, wants my soul.

​

Pre-Chorus
Then from heaven I hear a distant cry. Saying child, child, child come home.

Saying child, child, please come home.

​

Chorus
I’ll bring you home, wipe away your tears, carry your burdens, just lay them here.            
No matter what you’ve done  or where you’ve been. 

I still love you and can wash away your sins. 

Yeah, I still love you and can wash away your sins. 
   
Verse 3
My heart’s been broken. Can I love again? Jesus is call’n me to him

He says close your eyes, fall on your knees, surrender it all, all, all to me.                         

I went down. I found mercy. Jesus  set, set, set me free.
Been told a lie. It took a toll. But the devil can’t, can’t, can’t have my soul.          
No, the devil won’t take my soul.
