Analysis of WEEBLES WOBBLE (BUT THEY DON'T FALL DOWN)



WEEBLES WOBBLE (BUT THEY DON'T FALL DOWN)

They knock me down
I'm back up again
We go round and round
In a battle with no end

Blow for blow I match
Hell's advancing horde
My weakness none can catch
When I'm standing for the Lord

Weebles wobble, but don't fall down
All aboard the Merry-go-round
Ashes to ashes we all fall down
Still I never seem to hit the Ground

They hit four or five
Or push around a few
That I'm still alive
Lord, testifies of You

I see the enemy I always fight
He's raging in my face
I stab him in Your Light
And beat him with Your Grace

Weebles wobble, but don't fall down
All aboard the Merry-go-round
Ashes to ashes we all fall down
Still I never seem to hit the Ground

I slash and I slice
He parries and blocks
He hits me twice
My vision rocks

As I start to sway
He presses the attack
To You Lord, I pray
Strength rushes back

Weebles wobble, but don't fall down
All aboard the Merry-go-round
Ashes to ashes we all fall down
Still I never seem to hit the Ground

I gather my tired strength again
Surely we're almost done
This battle will only end
With the coming of God's Son

The enemy falls to the ground
Before my weary eyes
An Angel's trumpet sounds
Across the dreary skies

Weebles wobbled, but never fell down
Get off this Merry-go-round
New dreams from ashes all around
Amazing Grace, such a sweet, sweet sound
AMEN
