I
WHEN I WAS A BOY THOSE OLD CAMP MEETINGS WERE SUCH A THRILL TO ME
SOUL REVIVING CREEK BAPTIZING SURE MADE THE DEVIL WANT TO FLEE
PREACHING PRAYING SHOUTING SAYING THANK YOU LORD FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE
SOME ONE CRIED TESTIFIED WE'VE GOT THE DEVIL ON THE RUN.
II
WELL THE LORD IS THE SAME HIS POWER HASN'T CHANGED
IT'S JUST LIKE IT USED TO BE
SO IF WE DON'T HAVE ALL THE STRENGTH WE NEED
THE PROBLEM IS YOU AND ME
NOT PREACHING PRAYING SHOUTING SAYING THANK YOU LORD FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE
OH WE NEED SOME CRYING TESTIFYING WE'LL KEEP THE DEVIL ON THE RUN.
CHORUS
WE'VE GOT THE DEVIL ON THE RUN NOW WE'VE GOT THE DEVIL ON THE RUN
HE CAN'T STAY WHEN WE PRAY AND SING OF WHAT THE LORD HAS DONE
THERE'S HEALING FOR THE BODY SAVING FOR THE SOUL AND JOY FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NONE
WITHOUT A DOUBT WE GOT A RIGHT TO SHOUT WE GOT THE DEVIL ON THE RUN.
