Lyrics
KEEP THE FAITH
(Words and Music by Tennyson Walters)
The devil’s got you under the knife
Your faith he’s trying to slice
Let Jesus be your shield and sheath
He’ll make the devil yield and retreat
Keep, keep, keep the faith
Don’t give up don’t give in oh oh oh
Keep keep keep the faith
The Holy Spirit is abiding
Life is a series of trials
Objections and denials
But faith requires that you take a leap
Though the bounds might seem too steep
Keep, keep, keep the faith
Don’t give up don’t give in oh oh oh
Keep keep keep the faith
Look up and look within
Keep keep keep the faith
Don’t give up don’t give in oh oh oh
Keep keep keep the faith
The Holy Spirit is abiding
Faith comes when you hear
The Holy Tome makes it clear
The Word is sharper than a two edged sword
Slices like fruit strewn on a cutting board
Keep, Keep, Keep the faith
Don’t give up don’t give in oh oh
Keep keep keep the faith
Look up look within
Keep keep keep the faith
The Holy Spirit is abiding
(CHORUS OUT)
