lyrics

Well here I am born of this land
I was raised in this Church
My mother believed in God she told me that
He was the bond between true love and happiness
Well here I am a Preacher Man the Bible's always in my hand I preach the word of God everyday
I pray for the people, I pray for the ones, I pray for the ones that do not hear

I told them they could be free
I told them but they wouldn't believe
I told them they could be free
I told them but they wouldn't believe

Well here I am a Preacher Man the Bible's always in my hand I preach the word of God everyday
I pray for the people I pray for the ones
I pray for the ones that do not hear

I told them they could be free
I told them but they wouldn't believe
I told them they could be free
I told them but they wouldn't believe
I told them they could be free
I told them but they wouldn't believe
I told them they could be free
I told them but they didn't believe

Whatcha gonna do when Satin comes for you
Whatcha gonna do when Satin comes for you
Whatcha gonna do when Satin comes for you
Whatcha gonna do when Satin comes for you
For you! For you! For you!

Whatcha gonna do when Satin comes for you
Whatcha gonna do when Satin comes for you
Whatcha gonna do when Satin takes your soul
Whatcha gonna do when Satin's in control
Control
Control
Control
CONTROL

I tried to tell you to stay away
I tried to tell you about the pain
I told you of the misery
NOW DO YOU BELIEVE IN ME

IN ME

I told them they could be free
I told them but they wouldn't believe
I told them they could be free
I told them but they didn't believe
I told them they could be free
I told them but they wouldn't believe
I told them they could be free
I told them but they didn't believe
