Lyrics
Nasty Guy Rob Canning
Verse 1
Well it’s a big fat nasty lie
Try to make you tremble cause he is a spy
Turnin’ your head baby inside out
Sour your heart he can make you pout
Don’t listen to the nasty guy
Learn from the garden where he told Eve lies
Tries to put fear deep inside you
Just close the doors set yourself apart
Chorus
You know God’s love will protect you
Fear no one else give your fears to Him.
Verse 2
He will twist the mind inside your head
try to make you feel you be better dead
Paint illusion dark, deep inside ya
Try to bring you down, get inside ya
But don’t listen to the nasty guy
Shun the deceiver who can make you cry
Try to turn your thoughts, set upon the One
Who will raise you up, like He did the Son.
Chorus
You know God’s love will protect you
You know God’s grace will forgive you.
Fear no one else give yourself to Him.
Narration (from Genisis 3:1-5)
Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made.
He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?"
The woman said to the serpent, "We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, 'You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.' "
"You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman. "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."
Bridge - Sung (from James 4:7)
(But God said)
Submit yourselves,
(But God said)
Then unto God
(But God said).
Resisting the devil
(But God said)
and he will flee from you.
Refrain
(Don’t Listen)
Woo-oh-Woo-oh Shun the devil
(To the nasty guy, so don’t listen)
