Get Thee Behind Me

Verse 1
Did you know the devil tried to get the Son of
God
To change all the rocks into bread that day?
But Jesus said "No way!"
Satan said to Jesus, "Go and take a flyin' leap.

Your life will be saved by the angels on high."
But Jesus said "Go 'way!"

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!


Verse 2
This is how it happened in the desert on that
day
Whenever you're faced with temptations this way,
Just turn to God and pray!

(4 bar bridge)

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!
