He Couldn't Take My Praise

THE DEVIL TRIED ME

Verse 1

I've been through some things

I never thought I'd see

Had trouble at my doorstep

Trying to get the best of me

But I fell down on my knees

And I called on Jesus' name

The enemy came looking for me

But he couldn't make me change

Chorus

The devil tried me

But he couldn't take my praise

The devil tried me

But Jesus made a way

He thought I was gonna give up

He thought I'd turn around

But the Lord kept His hand on me

And He wouldn't let me down

Verse 2

I had nights of wondering

How I was gonna make it through

But every time I cried out

God showed me what He could do

What looked like a setback

God turned into a blessing

What the enemy meant for trouble

God used it for my testimony

Bridge

I won't be afraid

I know who holds my hand

I may not understand it

But I know He has a plan

So devil, you can't have my joy

You can't have my praise

Because everything I've been through

Only made me seek His face

Vamp

He tried me!

Choir: Tried me!

He tested me!

Choir: Tested me!

But I'm still standing!

Choir: Still standing!

I'm still praising!

Choir: Still praising!

God kept me!

Choir: God kept me!

Final Chorus

The devil tried me

But he couldn't take my praise

The devil tried me

But Jesus made a way

I'm still here because He kept me

I'm still standing by His grace

The devil tried me

But my God won the case!

Outro

I've got a testimony...

I've got a reason to praise...

The devil tried me...

But God kept me.
