Satan Says

Song Description:  

    “Simon Says” was a childhood game that tested a listener’s ability to follow instructions.

“Satan Says” is a constant testing of our ability to avoid the temptations that

the Devil puts in front of us. If we follow his instructions or fall for his evil tricks

we’ll wind up “where it’s hot”.

Lyrics:                                                                      

Games of your childhood once helped shape your ways.                   

 You paid close attention to play “Simon Says”.

To whom did you listen, yes who ran your life?

Those were the days of no worries, no strife.

Then you got older, went out on your own.                                          

Major decisions came closer to home. 

Now who makes your choices? Your mom or your wife?

Seems like today bad ideas run rife.

     Satan says that you’re the only one that really counts.

     Thus you can look the other way, and etiquette renounce.            

     Satan says if others do it you can do it too.

     No matter if results caused harm to others that you knew.

So what are your goals? Do you have a plan                                     

to be unproductive and mean as you can?

Why is your attitude so filled with hate?

Was it your schooling, or something you ate?

       Satan says to follow him and you’ll have lots of fun.

       Don’t bother to regret your actions, you are number one.           

       Satan says that evil things won’t have a consequence.

       So just move on and then repeat your previous offense.

What is the truth,  why should you care?                                                             

How do you find it? What fruit will it bear?

There is a book that was written by those

who came long before us, but wisdom it shows.

          Satan says ignore the Bible, it’s not worth the read

          He calls it misinformation, it’ll just mislead..                      

          Satan says to worship him, he’ll give you all you need.

         Just trade your soul, he’ll satisfy your pride, your lust, and

           greed.

        “Simon Says” was just a game, but “Satan Says” is not. 

         His trickery has just one goal, to take you where it’s hot.                 

         Beelzebub is serious. He’s famous for his lies.

        Remember that by heeding him you’ll seal your soul’s demise.

        So don’t play games with Satan, since he only plays for keeps.          

        And never let your guard down ‘cuz his evil never sleeps.

        Don’t listen to his logic… he always sounds so smart.

        Choose to follow Jesus, keep his teachings in your heart.

       Yes, choose to follow Jesus. Keep his teachings in your heart.         

       Allelujah….Allelujah….Allelujah….Amen
