Pressure Points

(album: Choose Life - 1985)

Lying here, shaking in my bed
Wondering why this static in my soul
Back and forth, I need a revelation
On the edge and wondering where to go
Well, I'm falling out, falling out of touch now
Should have spent more time before the Lord
Overnight, suddenly I'm ready to listen

Started back, several months ago
Sliding by on a spiritual glaze
I was blind, I didn't see it coming
Unprepared, I lost it in the maze
Well, I've fallen in, fallen in the trap now
Should have taken action long before
Should have been at His feet
Where He said we should meet
Resisting defeat

Those pressure points
Everybody has
Those pressure points
And when the pressure's on it points
To where your weakness lies

Now I see, it happens every day
Wasting time I really can't afford
Danger signs, a creeping independence
Takes away from leaning on the Lord
Well, I've fallen off, fallen off the main line
Need a fresh awakening in my soul
I can never depend
On yesterday's win
To carry me in

Those pressure points
Everybody has
Those pressure points
And when the pressure's on it points
To where your weakness lies
Pressure points
Everybody has
Those pressure points
And when prepared
You'll watch your victory rise

Just because you're riding high
Won't mean you always will
The danger comes
When you are standing still
Those pressure points

Lying here, shaking in my bed
Wondering why this static in my soul
Back and forth, I need a revelation
On the edge and wondering where to go
Well I've fallen off, fallen off the main line
Need a fresh awakening in my soul
I can never depend
On yesterday's win
To carry me in

Those pressure points
Everybody has
Those pressure points
And when the pressure's on it points
To where your weakness lies
Pressure points
Everybody has
Those pressure points
And when prepared
You'll watch your victory rise
