Dear John Letter (To the Devil)
Oh,
I used to love you but now that's hard to do
'Cause I got some information 'bout the evil things at night that you do
Now the whole thing is through, we're through
Oh, you're such a devil, how'd you get me to believe you were true, ooh?
Oh,
my momma warned me and how my daddy cried
The day I left my home, you said you'd always keep me satisfied
But oh, how you lied, you lied
Well, I should have heard my momma's words
But then I guess I had too much pride, original sin
Oh,
I used to lie awake at night and see your face on the ceilin'
What a bad a feelin' I have when I think of how you almost got me
In the ways of the world, in the ways of the world
My
so-called friends said I misjudged you, my anger's all in vain
But I'm afraid you got to them before I had a chance to explain
And it caused me such pain, ouch!
'Cause they were such good friends of mine
But now you've got them playin' your game, you creep
Oh,
I used to lie awake at night and see your face on the ceilin'
What a bad a feelin' I have when I think of how you almost got me
In the ways of the world, in the ways of the world
Oh, in the ways of the world, in the ways of the world
Well,
I believe in Jesus and what he said he's gonna do
He'll put an apple in your lyin' mouth and cook you in a sulfur stew, ooh
One that'll never be through, is it soup yet? No
Ah, but if he hadn't rescued me then I'd be down there cookin' too
Oh, if Jesus hadn't rescued me then I'd be cookin' right next to you, ooh
I
used to lie awake at night and see your face on the ceilin'
What a great feelin' I have when I think of how you're gonna get yours
At the end of the world, the end of the world
Oh, at the end of the world, at the end of the world
Oh, at the end of the world
To Obey Is Better Than Sacrifice
To
obey is better than sacrifice
I don't need your money, I want your life
And I hear you say that I'm coming back soon
But you act like I'll never return
Well
you speak of grace and my love so sweet
How you thrive on milk but reject my meat
And I can't help weeping at how it will be
If you keep on ignoring my words
Well you pray to prosper and succeed
But your flesh is something I just can't feed
To
obey is better than sacrifice
I want more than Sundays and Wednesday nights
'Cause if you can't come to me everyday
Then don't bother coming at all
To
obey is better than sacrifice
I want hearts of fire, not your prayers of ice
And I'm coming quickly to give back to you
According to what you have done
According to what you have done
According to what you have done
My Eyes Are Dry
My
eyes are dry, my faith is old
My heart is hard, my prayers are cold
And I know how I ought to be
Alive to You and dead to me
Oh
what can be done for an old heart like mine
Soften it up with oil and wine
The oil is You, Your Spirit of love
Please wash me anew in the wine of Your Blood
My
eyes are dry, my faith is old
My heart is hard, my prayers are cold
And I know how I ought to be
Alive to You and dead to me
Oh
what can be done for an old heart like mine
Soften it up with oil and wine
The oil is You, Your Spirit of love
