The Devil Tried It

[Chorus]
The devil tried hard, hard to break me down
Went through my trials and came out with a, smile
I'm bout to test it, let me tell you how the devil tried hard, hard to break me down
Went through my trials and came out with a, smile
I'm bout to test it, God didn't let it take me down

[Verse 1]
We all got a story to tell, better yet a testimony
And if you can tell your own, to God we give the glory
For another day, for showing grace
For the opportunity to get it right today
Cause I ain't always been straight, and still I ain't perfect
And where I lack I fall short, I'ma work on it today
And put a plan into place, with a dash of some faith
And take the test of the day, with a smile on my face

The devil tried hard, hard to break me down

[Chorus]
The devil tried hard, hard to break me down
Went through my trials and came out with a, smile
I'm bout to test it, let me tell you how the devil tried hard, hard to break me down
Went through my trials and came out with a, smile
I'm bout to test it, God didn't let it take me down

[Verse 2]
And sure as it's gon' rain, the sun gon' shine
No matter what I'm going through from
Being molested and afraid to speak my truth, I
Forgave so I don't have it now, it's a hate for you, I
Forgave so I don't have it now, it's a hate for you, How
I moved on, you would give and make it easier, to move on
God got me through, everything that went wrong
God got me through, everything that went wrong (Yeahhh)

[Chorus]
The devil tried hard, to break me down
Went through my trials and came out with a, smile
I'm bout to test it, let me tell you how the devil tried hard, hard to break me down
Went through my trials and came out with a smile
I'm bout to test it, God didn't let it take me down

[Outro]
Yeah, oh my, yeah
The devil tried hard, to break me down
But it ain't work!
