Chely Wright - Why Do I Still Want You or Shall I Not Want lyrics

rate me

There's an old tear stained, worn King James

Bible on my lap

I can hear mama now say it won't let you down

And it never has

So I turn to the Psalms straight to the one

That I can quote by heart

But the words that used to comfort me are tearing me apart

[Chorus:]

He leaded me through death's dark valley

And by still waters too

Surely goodness and his mercy

Are gonna pull me through

But tonight I've wrestled wit the devil

Wrestled with the truth

If the lord is my shepherd

And I shall not want

Why do I still want you

All my friends say this will end

You're not the one for me

Cause I'm the kind that loves for life

And your the kind that leaves

So I've been praying and I've been waiting

For some kind of peace

But you haven't phoned and I'm leaning on Old Psalms twenty-three

[Repeat chorus]

Yeah tonight I've wrestled with the devil

Wrestled with the truth

If the lord is my shepherd

And I shall not want

Why do I still want you
