The power of hell had hunt for me
They say my end must be in grief
They knew my soul had cried for life
Oh Lord I know that you can keep
The beast of hell that came had guns
He said "I want to kill the johns"
The saints of christ had jumped the stump
Oh Lord I know that you can keep
I knew the thief that stole my price
Tonight he's come to give a bribe
He's lost the strength to stand the fight
Oh Lord I know that you can keep
The trust on men may not be right
Their lies had made me not to rise
And now they want to guide my life
Oh Lord I know that you can keep
The grace that comes from God insures
The love of God would lift the just
The Lord would run the race for us
Oh Lord I know that you can keep.
