Verse 3
If this sounds familiar, maybe you can all relate
You've been down this road and carried a load
Don't underestimate.
When the devil whispers, "It's time to renegotiate.
Just sign on the line and your soul will be mine."
Get out, don't hesitate!

Chorus
Get thee behind me, where you can't find me, Satan.
I will resist you, I won't take part in your devils play!

Verse 4
When the devil whispers sweet temptations in your ear
Just tell him to go back from where he came,
And make him disappear!

Chorus
Get thee behind me, where you can't find me, Satan.
I will resist you, I won't take part in your devil's play!
When the devil whispers sweet temptations in your ear
Just tell him to go back from where he came,
And make him disappear!
