Keeping the Old Man Down
by Brian Free & Assurance

Album: It's So God!

I'm my own worst enemy
When I remember back to what I used to be
And despite the love I found
Sometimes it's hard to keep the old man down
It's not because I wanna be who I used to be
It's because people keep reminding me

But what people can't forget, He won't remember
An when people come along and keep playing in the embers
I hold my head up high and just remember what I found
As I keep on keeping the old man down

Some folks try
In their own way to help me change
They don't realize
That all my "want to"s He has rearranged
It's true I have a long, long way to go
If He's forgiven yesterday, why won't they let it go

But what people can't forget, He won't remember
An when people come along and keep playing in the embers
I hold my head up high and just remember what I found
As I keep on keeping the old man down

If it's true what He says
We're covered in His love
Then why won't they let my past
Stay under the Blood

What people can't forget, He won't remember
An when people come along and keep playing in the embers
I hold my head up high and just remember what I found
As I keep on keeping the old man down

I hold my head up high and just remember what I found
As I keep on keeping the old man down

As I keep on keeping the old man down
