Tell me why I always do,
Things that I know deep down I don't really want to do.
I try to walk in faith but it's not easy with him around
Ahh, with him around.
Like when you're walkin' in the dark and you stub your toe.
It hurts so bad, makes you mad, and cuss words start to flow.
And Satan, he's just laughing, 'cause he knows I'm fallin' in despair.
I wish he'd fight me fair.
CHORUS:
If the devil was a man
With a body just like mine
If it wasn't a sin to fight with him,
I'd punch him in the eye.
He can growl and snarl at me but all to no avail.
If the devil was a man, I'd kick his tail.
(C'mon sing, Chris)
Sometimes I hear an unwholesome tough.
And I say things I shouldn't say,
When I should probably walk away.
And it's a sin I've got spinnin'
And satan thinks he's gonna win,
Aww...think again.
I can punch, I can kick.
Feed him food that makes him sick.
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
You might think I'm crazy,
You might say that I'm a nut.
But if the devil was a man, I'd kick his...
But I guess you're wonderin',
What kind of spell I'm under
Singin' songs of silly fantasies.
You know that I'm just jokin',
There's no better way to hope for
'Cause I know, greater is He that's alive in me.
(Talking:)
Uh, hold on Chris
When I first wrote this song with my friend Doug Taylor,
We thought it was the perfect Christian song
'Cause it talked about beating sins like cussin' and gossip
I took to my friend Chris Tomlin (that's me)
And uh, he said it wasn't the perfect song ('cause it ain't)
'Cause even if it talked about beatin' sins like cussin' and gossip
It didn't talk about beatin' sings like lust and pride and an unrepentant heart
And I was like, 'Man give me a break.'
You know, I mean I'm writing this song
I spent a lot of time tryin' to put my heart in it
And you just criticizin' me; you just criticizin' me
I can't put the whole ten commandments in the song
Man, I'm doing the best I can here, man give me a break (No, no.. it's okay, Ross)
So Chris and I got together
And we worked real hard
Came up with one last verse
And we think maybe now
That we've written the perfect Christian song
And we hope you think it is, too
It goes something like this..
Sometimes my life is full of sin,
Girl walks by, I look at her,
And I look at her again.
And I'm too proud to pray out loud
And say what I've done wrong,
Aww, that devil's strong.
Things are lookin' bad for me
But I know there's victory.
CHORUS:
'Cause the devil ain't a man
With a body just like mine.
Sometimes he sneaks up on me
And hits me from behind.
He can growl and snarl at me,
But all to no avail.
'Cause my God's big enough to kick his tail.
My God's big enough, my God's big enough,
Yea, My God's big enough, my God's big enough
(Take it home)
My God's big enough, my God's big enough
(To kick his tail)
My God's big enough, my God's big enough
My God's big enough to kick his little red tail. |
Russ King & Chris Tomlin
