Peace Be Still

flood waters rise they get higher and higher...i'm stricken with fear and fast going under
twisting and turning,insane and i'm ill 
i cry out to God and He speaks what's real...
PEACE BE STILL
i watch the devil gettin dropped
i watch his demons gettin drilled

running in fire...flame's gettin hotter
i'm blinded by smoke and choking on sin
third degree burns take me to a dark land
my flesh starts to melt and i think my fate's sealed
i cry out God and He speaks what's real...
PEACE BE STILL
i watch the devil gettin dropped
i watch his demons gettin drilled

feasts turn to famines... once strong...now a scarecrow
i wither to nothing...like a leaf the wind blows
hungry and haunted and needing my fill
my skeletal frame needs a potient or pill
He brings manna from heaven and saves me from hell...
 i cry out to God and He speaks what's real...
PEACE BE STILL
i watch the devil gettin dropped
i watch his demons gettin drilled

Very impressive! In many ways I feel we meet the devil before God comes and saves us. Sin overflowing our view to master the will of rotting, before we are tugged in the light* luv*SKAT
