Head Down

from The Journey by John Blood

lyrics

And yeah though I walk through
The valley of the shadow of temptation
No evil shall I fear
‘Cause Jah is with me here

It’s dark on the road and I cant see
No sign to say I’m on the right way and the
Clouds cover the night sky
Hiding the path blocking the moonlight
Now the journey get harder and time get slower
And temptation wanna talk to me
Saying it could be so easy to jack it all in baby
Come and kick back and leave reality

Chorus
So I keep my head down and then step-by-step
Forward I keep moving and I can’t forget
That the Lord is my shepherd and I shall not want
So I’ll keep my choices righteous no matter how tough
And yeah though I walk through
The valley of the shadow of temptation
No evil shall I fear
‘Cause Jah is with me here

Be my shield and my sword for the fight
Be my whole armour and source of my might
Be my soul’s shelter and tower of strength
Raise me to the heaven Great One of all things

Left turn, right turn, wrong turn
No matter how many times I learn
Still I yearn, still I burn
Those who can’t hear will feel they say
But I don’t wanna feel to learn the right way
Got to keep my focus, can’t be led astray
Now I’ve come so far I can’t throw it all away
For things that take me close to vanity, envy and gluttony
Take me from my livity to mediocrity
Don’t wanna be like chaff blowing in the wind, oh no

Chorus
