I Beat the Devil
The Devil came to take my soul,
I felt its talon's on my heart,
But Jesus told me from the start,
That none could take my soul from me,
For I was like a planted tree,
In Holy Ghost Fire and Holy Ghost Free,
So as the devil jumped upon,
I thought of love of saints long gone,
And I embraced that cursed thing with the love of Christ,
And it went reeling into flight,
For only love can conquer hate,
Now Joy is my eternal state.
