Keith Green Cut the Devil Down lyrics

Cut the devil down, Lord, cut the devil down
Drive him out of town, Lord, cut the devil down
The devil hates Your blood, Lord, You know he hates Your blood
So drown him in a flood, Lord, the devil hates Your blood

Well, I thought that he ain't be bound to leave
Without our praise and love
But I know that he can't stand against me
When I'm seeking the power from above, Lord

Cut the devil down, Lord, cut the devil down
Swing Your sword around, Lord, and cut the devil down
The devil knows who's boss, Lord, he surely knows who's boss
'Cuz You beat him at the cross, Lord, the devil knows who's boss

Well, the saints, they're crying to, to You, Lord
And they just can't be denied
'Cuz their clothes are washed in righteousness

And their sins are all crucified, Lord

Cut the devil down, Lord, shut the devil down
Throw Your weight around, Lord, and cut the devil down
The liar's got to leave, Lord, the liar's got to leave
Because he saw You bleed, Lord, the liar's got to leave

Well, my soul is crying to you, Lord
And Your peace is all I need
And I must repent before Your throne
So I'm here on my knees, and I plead

Ohh, cut the devil down, Lord, cut the devil down
Blind him with Your crown, Lord, yeah, cut the devil down
