Keith Green Dear John Letter (To the Devil) Lyrics

DEAR JOHN LETTER (TO THE DEVIL)
Well I used to love you but now that's hard to do
Cause I got some information 'bout them evil things at night that you do
And the whole thing is through (we're through)
Oh you're such a devil
how'd you get me to believe you were true (ooh)
Oh my mama warned me and how my daddy cried
The day I left my home you said you'd always keep me satisfied
But oh how you lied (you lied)
Well I should have heard my mama's words
But then I guess I had too much pride (original sin)
I used to lie awake at night and see your face on the ceilin'
Oh, what a bad feelin'
When I think of how you almost got me in the ways of the world
In the ways of the world
Strum D four times
My so called friends said I misjudged you my anger's all in vain
But I'm afraid you got to them before I had a chance to explain
And it caused me such pain (ooh ouch)
Cause they were such good friends of mine
And now you've got them playin' your game (you creep)
I used to lie awake at night and see your face on the ceilin'
Oh what a bad feelin'
Of how when I think of how you almost got me in the ways of the world
In the ways of the world
Oh in the ways of the world
In the ways of the world
Strum D four times
(Guitar Solo)
But I believe in Jesus and what he said he's gonna do
Put an apple in your lyin' mouth and cook you in a sulfur stew (whew)
One that'll never be through (is it soup yet? No!)
Oh but if he hadn't rescued me then I'd be down there cookin' too
Oh if Jesus hadn't rescued me
I'd be cookin' right next to you (ewww)
I used to lie awake at night and see your face on the ceilin'
Oh, what a great feelin'
When I think of how you're gonna get yours at the end of the world
At the end of the world
Oh at the end of the world
At the end of the world
(End.)
