The Devil Looses Hold
(c) 2014 Geneva Griffin
Verse 1
I'd pay my last few dollars, to that man workin' the corner,
His sign said he was hungry, anything helps God Bless,
I knew his faith would falter, I'd been a thirsty soul before,
So I'd feed his need, then the stop light changed from red..
Verse 2
As I rolled down my window, ragin' horns were honkin',
The old vet barely walkin', so I went with the flow,
Next thing I know I turn off, circle 'round the block and,
Pull up right beside him, then when he said thank you Lord..
Chorus
Angels sang.. Saints rejoiced,
I cried cause I know..
When Jesus touches hearts,
The devil looses hold..
Verse 3
That very night I partied, with good friends & smooth whiskey,
I've been known to cut loose, lose all my self control,
Jesus he forgives me, when my self respect don't come cheap,
It's free when I bow lowly, and his word tells me behold..
Chorus
Angels sing.. Saints rejoice,
I cry cause I know..
When Jesus touches hearts,
The devil looses hold..
Bridge
Sometimes, I take life for granted..
Set off on my own at full speed....
But his lovin' arms are far reaching..
And, when I fall to my knees....
Chorus
Angels sing.. Saints rejoice,
I cry cause I know..
When Jesus touches hearts,
The devil looses hold..
