Lyrics Billy Joe Shaver – Get Thee Behind Me Satan
Text:
Get thee behind me, Satan
For I command it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, of Nazareth
Get thee behind me, Satan
For I command it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ
I looked into the mirror and I couldn’t see myself
The demons that were in me had turned me wrong side out
I knew inside my soul I was headed straight for hell
But I couldn’t for my life figure how to help myself
Get thee behind me, Satan
For I command it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, of Nazareth
Get thee behind me, Satan
For I command it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ
The moon and stars were hidden by the shroud that clouded ’round
I could see my loved ones weeping as they lowered me in the ground
No word was spoken over me I almost thought I died
Then I knew I wasn’t dead I had been buried alive
Get thee behind me, Satan
For I command it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, of Nazareth
Get thee behind me, Satan
For I command it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ
I couldn’t see my hand in front of my face
I knew that I was buried in the deepest darkest place
The deeds that I had done put me in this awful place
Then I felt the stir inside me and the smoke came ‘cross my face
Get thee behind me, Satan
For I command it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, of Nazareth
Get thee behind me, Satan
For I command it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ
