He doesn't use a pitch dork
He doesn't have a tail
He comes disguised
as fear and lies,
to remind you when you fail.
He doesn't wear a red suit and he doesn't smell like smoke,
he sneaks around
until he finds your doubt,
and that's where
he makes his home
When he comes for you
all you gotta do,
is take look at the devil
right square in the eye,
tell him,
I have believed you
for the very last time.
Devil I know
you been lying to me,
you do not define me.
All of your power
has been swept away,
your threats are as empty,
as Jesus grave.
So devil go get behind me, because
you do not define me
He knows the ways
that we're different,
how we're tempted
to choose a side.
Takes the beauty
in our diversity,
and will use it
to divide.
And he'll split us over doctrine
Or the color of our skin
And when we fight
with fear and hate
He's the only one who wins.
But when he comes your way
Just put him in his place.
Just take a look at the devil right square in the eye
and tell him
I have believed you,
for the very last time.
Devil, I know you've been lying to me
you do not define me.
All of your power
has been swept away,
your threats are as empty,
as Jesus grave.
So devil go get behind me, because
you do not define me.
