The Lord Is a Busy Man` Songtext

von Steve Lawrence

Well, I feel as though we should move right into the religious material

When you walk through the garden, you gotta watch your back
Well, I beg your pardon, walk the straight and narrow track
When you walk with Jesus, he's gonna save your soul
You got to keep the Devil, well you gotta keep him down in the hole

He's got the fire, people he's got the fury at his command
Oh, you don't have to worry, hold on to, hold on to Jesus' hand
We'll all be safe from Satan, when the thunder, when the thunder starts to
Roll
We got to keep the Devil, keep him on down, down in the hole

That red horned lousy low-life underneath our boots
Praise the Lord!
I don't know what it is, two dollar?
That demon meister, three dollar?
That Prince Devil
Just see if you can come up with a figure that matches your faith
You say how much has Jesus done for you
And we got to go in with our hydraulic system and blast him out!
People, can I get an amen!

All the angels, they start to sing all about Jesus' mighty sword
And they'll shield you with their wings, people they'll keep you close to
The Lord
Now don't pay heed to temptation, for his hands are so cold
You gotta keep the Devil, keep him on down in the hole

Down in the hole
Down in the hole
Down in the hole

Well people, I got to speak about something
Can I get an amen!
Can I get a Hallelujah!
Praise the Lord!
Have mercy
The Lord is a very, very busy man
I do what I can
But Jesus is always going for the big picture
But he's always there to help us out of the little jams too

Down in the hole
Down in the hole
Down in the hole
Keep him down in the hole
We got to keep the Devil down in the hole
We got to keep the Devil, keep him on down in the hole

Down
Down, down, down, mighty Devil
I send you down below my boots
Down, down
Filling my life with anger and strife
Go down, mighty Devil
Find a place to live
Down, down, down
