That Ole Devil

Kristine Cucinotta Murphy

That ole devil still finds a crack
But, we know better and don’t let him back

He must go, he must flee
That ole devil can’t come in our holy matrimony

He has lost before the war is done
Our God is mightier, His kingdom has come

We know truth, we walk in the light
That ole devil runs away with his tail between his legs every night

Our weapon is greater and stronger than his
Our weapon is love and we pour it on even more in times such as this

He can’t stand love, he cringes and his face falls apart
When we open the floodgate of love to spring up from our heart

Yeah it can be hard in a moment feelings are hurt
But it’s better to throw that ole devil down to the dirt

Wipe our eyes and see it’s that ole devil bringing wickedness
Because we know we don’t wrestle against flesh and blood, but rulers of darkness

Stomp, stomp, stomp you don’t belong here
Love is God and he is nearer

Love is that gold strand that is woven in our covenant
Love is the weapon that conquers, and again, and again, out the door that ole devil went

Proverbs 3:3-4
Let not mercy and truth forsake thee:
bind them about thy neck;
write them upon the table of thine heart:
So shalt thou find favour and good understanding
in the sight of God and man.

Psalm 31:24
Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.

Matthew 6:21
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
