Stay of execution



Strong is your hold, oh mortal flesh

And now I've fallen to you again

Mighty's the faith that overcomes

But somehow you always seem to win



Stay of execution

Stay of execution



On the straight and narrow path of life

The word always comes to lift me up

Brings me to my feet when I fall

But you lie in waiting to bring me down



Stay of execution

Stay of execution



And so the struggle still goes on

Between the spirit and the flesh

Knowing His Word will make me strong

For the tormenting of my flesh

Stay of execution
