Trouble in Mind

I got to know, Lord, when to pull back on the reins

Death can be the result of the most underrated pain

Satan whispers to ya, "Well, I don't want to bore ya

But when ya get tired of the Miss So-and-so I got another woman for ya."

Trouble in mind, Lord, trouble in mind

Lord, take away this trouble in mind

When the deeds that you do don't add up to zero

It's what's inside that counts, ask any war hero

You think you can hide but you're never alone

Ask Lot what he thought when his wife turned to stone

Trouble in mind, Lord, trouble in mind

Lord, take away this trouble in mind

Here comes Satan, prince of the power of the air

He's gonna make you a law unto yourself, gonna build a bird's nest in your hair

He's gonna deaden your conscience 'til you worship the work of your own hands

You'll be serving strangers in a strange, forsaken land

Trouble in mind, Lord, trouble in mind

Lord, take away this trouble in mind

Well, your true love has caught you where you don't belong

You say, "Baby, everybody's doing it so I guess it can't be wrong."

The truth is far from you, so you know you got to lie

Then you're all the time defending what you can never justify

Trouble in mind, Lord, trouble in mind

Lord, take away this trouble in mind

So many of my brothers, they still want to be the boss

They can't relate to the Lord's kingdom, they can't relate to the cross

They self-inflict punishment on their own broken lives

Put their faith in their possessions, in their jobs or their wives

Trouble in mind, Lord, trouble in mind

Lord, take away this trouble in mind

When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke

How long must I suffer, Lord, how long must I be provoked?

Satan will give you a little taste, then he'll move in with rapid speed

Lord keep my blind side covered and see that I don't bleed
