I
I STARTED OUT TO WIN THIS RACE,
TO SERVE THE LORD AND TO LOOK UPON HIS FACE.
BUT THE WAY'S BEEN LONG AND THE WAY'S BEEN ROUGH,
BUT THERE'S ONE THING FOR SURE I'VE GOT MY MIND MADE UP.
II
THE DEVIL HE WILL TEMPT YOU AND FILL YOUR WAY WITH STRIFE.
HE'LL MAKE YOU SICK IN BODY EVEN TRY TO TAKE YOUR LIFE.
BUT PUT YOUR TRUST IN JESUS AND SAY LORD I'VE HAD ENOUGH
THE LORD WILL SAY MOVE ON SATAN HE'S GOT HIS MIND MADE UP.
III
NOW JOB WAS A MAN WHO WAS TEMPTED IN EVERY WAY,
THE DEVIL TOOK HIS FAMILY HE LAY SICK NIGHT AND DAY.
HIS WIFE SHE CAME A SAYING CURSE GOD YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH
HE SAID YOU TALK LIKE A FOOLISH WOMAN I'VE GOT MY MIND MADE UP.
CHORUS
I'VE GOT MY FOOT ON THE ROCK AND MY MIND'S MADE UP.
THO I WALK THROUGH THE LONELY VALLEY TH0 I DRINK FROM THE BITTER CUP
WHEN THE DEVIL COMES A KNOCKING SHOWING ME A EASIER WAY.
I STAND RIGHT SQUARE ON MY FEET
I THROW MY HEAD IN THE AIR
I LOOK HIM STRAIGHT IN THE EYE
I SAY MY FOOT'S ON THE ROCK AND MY MINDS MADE UP.
