When the sun drops down below the horizon
Cnd the darkness is slowly creepin' in
Cnd the devil comes out, tryna gain my attention
With his lies sayin' it's okay for me to sin
So I run and run, runnin' from my temptation
Gotta keep my soul from captivity
Holdin' on real tight, to my three cord braid
I'm reminded of who is watching over me
So I run so far away
Holdin' on, to my three cord braid
I won't lose, I won't lose my faith
Holdin' on, to my three cord braid
Everywhere I turn Satan's got me reminded
Of this shell of a man that I used to be
Then a man named Christ broke my chains
Picked me up and said I am the one who's gonna set you free
So I run and run run into my salvation
Cause He freed my soul from captivity
With this cross I bear on my three cord braid
That reminds me of who is watchin' over me
So I run so far away (So far away)
Holdin' on, to my three cord braid (To my three cord braid)
I won't lose, I won't lose my faith
Holdin' on (Holdin' on), to my three cord braid
One for the Father, one for the Son
One for the Spirit, all braided into one
The Devil is a lie, and he's gotta go
Cause the Good Lord is with me, wherever I go
One for the Father, one for the Son
One for the Spirit, all braided into one
The Devil's gonna try, but he can't win
'Cause when Jesus died (Jesus), he saved from sin
So I run far away (So I run, run far away)
Holding on (Holdin' on)
To my three cord braid (To my three cord braid)
I won't lose (Wooooo)
Not gonna lose my faith oh ohhh (Not gonna lose my faith)
Holdin' on (Holdin on)
To my three cord braid (To my three cord braid)
Holdin' on (Holdin on)
To my three cord braid
(Wooooo ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
