Notes About The Poem

Self and Satan Git Thee Behind Me Lead Me Not To Temptation

SELF And Satan GIT THEE BEHIND ME LEAD ME NOT TO TEMPTATION


Get back, get back,
Devil
GIT THEE BEHIND ME
Stop whispering in my ear;
I shall not no longer fear, or hear;
now everything that glitters not gold
not everything that's pleasured is good
just because it tastes good
doesn't mean it's good for your body
we must, we mustn't trust everything we think is right
for we must pray-fully acknowledge
everything good not gold

devil I shall not
allow you to lead me into temptation
and myself my choice negative
I bring on my own suffering

for we must pray-fully acknowledge
everything good not gold

Get back, get back,
Devil
GIT THEE BEHIND ME
Stop whispering in my ear;
I shall not no longer fear, or hear;
now everything that glitters not gold
not everything that's pleasured is good
There's nothing new under the sun ;
My Lord my God deliver us from the evil one;

inspired from
--Psalms 51:10
