Chorus:
Devil you can’t win, and I can’t lose!
I’ve got the Sword of the Spirit; I got the Word of the Lord
Down inside my heart-- and all you got’s defeat
God’s Word’s inside of me.
So, Devil you can’t win!
Devil you can’t win.
Mama gave me my first sword when I was a child.
John 3:16, my weapon to fight the Devil’s wiles
It told me God so loved the world, that He gave His Son.
and whosoever would believe, the victory has won.
Devil you can’t win, Devil you can’t win!
I’ve got the Sword of the Spirit; I got the Word of the Lord
Down inside my heart-- and all you got’s defeat
God’s Word’s inside of me.
So, Devil you can’t win!
Devil you can’t win.
As the war raged on and on, I so weary grew
Ephesians 6, verse 13 told me what to do
Taking up my shield of faith, and my sword of Truth
I can tell the devil, God has defeated you…
When life’s battle’s over, Death has come for me
It won’t have the vict’ry, Grave won’t have a sting
Victory’s all ready mine, through God’s holy Son
Jesus said “It’s finished” and what is done is done!
Devil you can’t win, Devil you can’t win!
I’ve got the Sword of the Spirit; I got the Word of the Lord
Down inside my heart-- and all you got’s defeat
God’s Word’s inside of me.
So, Devil you can’t win!
Devil you can’t win.
AWW, Devil you can’t win!
Devil you can’t win
