The devil stalks me everyday
Tempting me to turn to his wicked ways
Extending his rope to play his favorite game
A game of Tug of War he seeks to drive me insane

The Devil's rope is my temptation
He hopes I grab on without hesitation
The attraction of earthly pleasures and their sensation
And lack of will power he hopes I seek instant gratification

So he,
He extends his rope like he's a friend
Then yanks it hard until it's mud I'm in
Tug of War with the devil is no game to play
He wants to take over and get in God's way

Grabbing that rope, he pulled me in
To his wicked life of chaos and sin
I fell for his bait by grabbing that rope
Playing Tug of War with the Devil, then sinning to cope

Now,
Bound in the devil's rope, tied up in sin
Turning to instant gratification time and time again

My life's tied down with the devil's rope
Bound so tight that I've almost lost all hope
Being imprisoned in the hell he's created
Watching him grin as he becomes elated

Now,
Bound in the devil's rope, tied up in sin
Turning to instant gratification time and time again

Now,
Forced to play the devil's wicked and devilish games
Leaves me broken and hopeless, calling out my father's name
God, I cry out to you to take a grip on the devil's rope
I need your strength to restore my hope

Because,
I'm bound in the devil's rope, tied up in sin
Turning to instant gratification time and time again

I have faith that when I can't take the pain anymore,

You'll grab and snap the devil's rope
You'll set me free and restore my hope

But,
Grabbing that rope has come with a high cost
All my peace is long gone and my soul is lost
Now I'm faced with a life full of repentance,
Because I don't want to face the ultimate death sentence

God, I'm sorry for engaging in the Devil's games
For seeking pleasure instead of praying in Jesus's name
I pray I never grab onto that rope again
I pray for a life free from sin

Because, Tug of War with the devil is no game to play
I'm done with the devil and him having his way

So again,
God, I'm sorry for engaging in the Devil's games
For seeking pleasure instead of praying in Jesus's name
I pray I never grab onto that rope again
I pray for a life free from sin
