Steve Camp - The Net of Peter lyrics
[Steve Camp - The Net of Peter lyrics]
I've done battle with the world today
And again she brought me down
The lady took my pride away
As she claimed her victor's crown
I'm weak and, oh, so broken
And upon these words I'm chokin'
For I'm just another one
Struggling in the net of Peter
I grow so weary trying to run this race
Though my heart starts out sincerely
All too soon it is disgraced
Some people place me on a pedestal
But the air is too thin up there you know
For you see I'm just another one
Struggling in the net of Peter
Struggling in the net of peter
When you're fighting to stay alive
It's easy to get burned
I need You as my constant defender
Be patient with your child
For You know I'm slow to learn
That You're constantly changing
The heart of this pretender
As I pray for my protection
From the evils of this age
May Your word guard my affections
Let it be burning me page by page
Oh, bury it's truth deep into my bones
In love remind me that I'm not my own
But that I'm just another one
Still struggling in the net of Peter
Well, I'm struggling in the net of Peter
You are my constant defender
With You on my side
I'll never surrender, no, no
With You in my life, I've got victory
With You in my heart, there is hope for me
And again she brought me down
The lady took my pride away
As she claimed her victor's crown
I'm weak and, oh, so broken
And upon these words I'm chokin'
For I'm just another one
Struggling in the net of Peter
I grow so weary trying to run this race
Though my heart starts out sincerely
All too soon it is disgraced
Some people place me on a pedestal
But the air is too thin up there you know
For you see I'm just another one
Struggling in the net of Peter
Struggling in the net of peter
When you're fighting to stay alive
It's easy to get burned
I need You as my constant defender
Be patient with your child
For You know I'm slow to learn
That You're constantly changing
The heart of this pretender
As I pray for my protection
From the evils of this age
May Your word guard my affections
Let it be burning me page by page
Oh, bury it's truth deep into my bones
In love remind me that I'm not my own
But that I'm just another one
Still struggling in the net of Peter
Well, I'm struggling in the net of Peter
You are my constant defender
With You on my side
I'll never surrender, no, no
With You in my life, I've got victory
With You in my heart, there is hope for me
