Last Night I Fought With the Devil

The devil is a cunning and deceitful being He plays on your weakness like a guitar string He hides around the corner, sees when you come unglue Then at you he comes smiling, saying, this one’s through Now listen! Sometimes he gets you and have his way But sometimes you fight, determined, I won’t sway Last night he rose up like a lion and stood in my face I stepped up, shoulders squared, a child of God’s grace Stand back old Satan, from me get thee hence I won’t retreat, I won’t surrender, stay on your side of the fence I call on the Holy Spirit for divine intervention Arms were stretched wide for a fallen child prevention Don’t mess with me, old Satan, I have lots of clout Stick with me, I’ll tell you what it’s all about You see, Christ died for me and saved me from hell I am now His redeemed child, my soul I cannot sell
