HAD A TALK WITH THE DEVIL

HAD A TALK WITH THE DEVIL

Had a talk with the devil
And I told him to go!
"Get outta my life!"
"You can't keep me low!"

God doesn't give out
All the grief and pain;
I'm turning to Him
To get rid of the claim!

Oh, the devil had me
In a strangle-hold;
My thoughts were crazy,
And gettin' old!

I know that God
Must have shook his head
When I just gave up
And took to my bed!

Seems like they were
Fighting inside and out;
Tearing me up and
Tossing me about -

But God won out
And I'm mighty glad,
Cause that old devil
IS MIGHTY BAD!

I opened my eyes,
And felt so much better;
I should sit right down
And write God a letter

But I guess He knows
I was really in a jam;
Cause he saved my life
As only He can!

So if you're sad
Take my advice -
Livin' with the Lord
Is awfully nice!

He cast out the devil
With one swift blow
And told that critter
Just where to go!

Then He reached down
To me, as was His plan;
He came to find
Another lost lamb.

I'll be okay now;
No doubt there -
All it takes
Is a little prayer..
