Get Under My Feet,'Devil'

You can't rule me devil nor tell me what to do,
For I am a child of God I don't belong to you,
Yes, I've followed my own will and done some of your evil work,
But, now I know you're nothing but a jerk,...

You're nothing but a piece of dirt on my floor,
So get under my feet devil for I'm not taking anymore,
I've let you get me down almost as low as I could get,
And you were pretty convincing at times I must admit,...

Telling me I did'nt need Jesus to survive,
You're a liar satan, you're dead to me my Lord is alive,
I can't believe how I fell for your lies,
All looking good and in disguise,...

You tried to tell me on receiving salvation, "I could wait",
You said your road was wide and that I was too fat to fit through Gods' narrow gate,
Even though for a while I was led by you on a pull string,
God still loves me just the way I am it ain't  no thing,...

Jesus was bruised for my iniquity he died for my sin,
So it's like this devil, "you're out", Jesus is in,
It's going to be a great day when you have to bough and confess,
And you're finally put in your place and paying for all your mess,...
