Redeemed

Redeemed 

As I tasted the barrel of my nine 
The Devil whispered it’s your time
He had taken all my shine 
He said loving me was a crime
I’m no good to love 
Not even the so called man up above
I gave the Devil a shove 
Down came a White Dove
From the clouds stepped a man in white
He said Devil I’ve already won this fight 
If you’ll remember for three days and three nights 
We fought and I made things right 
You see this sinner is paid for with my blood 
My tears soon turned into a flood 
My shine beamed
It was then I knew I had been truly redeemed
