Petra - Magnet Of The World lyrics

Words by Bob Hartman

Based on 2 Peter 2:20

There are things that look attractive

on the surface of despair

There are things that hold my interest when I really shouldn't

care

I have felt intoxicated viewing

pleasures from afar

But I've been illuminated when they're seen for what they are

Keep me ever closer

Save me from this strong seducing...

Magnet of the world

It reaches to my heart and pulls me

Magnet of the world

Wants to keep me far from You

If it wasn't for Your love that holds me

I would give in to the

Magnet of the world

When a compass pulled by magnetism points a different way

It's not hard to lose your bearings, it's not hard to go astray

Guide me with Your lighthouse

Keep me from the rocks and from this

When will I be free from this

The unfulfilling counterfeit

When will I learn to resist

The constant pull that does exist

Take me farther from this path

Of least resistance now

Will You show me how?

And if it wasn't for Your love

that holds me

I would give in to

The magnet of the world

It reaches to my heart and pulls me

Magnet of the world

Wants to keep me far from You

Magnet of the world

It reaches to my heart and pulls me

Magnet of the world

Magnet of the world...
