I Was Dancin' With the Devil

©2002 Corey Parkman

I came up a Baptist child

A little meak, a little wild

Though my parents tried to teach me right

Soon as I turned seventeen

I skipped my curfews, ripped my jeans

Raised hell till each and every mornin' light

The whiskey kept me grinnin'

Steppin' after short skirt women

Chasin' and fornicatin' every night

But last night in my drunken sleep

Jesus came and spoke to me

That's when I woke up from my sinful life

Chorus

I was dancin' with the devil

till Jesus Christ cut in

I was jukin' and a' jivin'

to the rhythm of my sin

Until my dear sweet Savior

asked me to walk with Him

I was dancin' with the devil

till Jesus Christ cut in

This morning is a new day

And I'm back in church to pray

Time to heal my spiritual relations

I know Baptists don't dance much

But my joy has got me all stirred up

Two steppin' at the Spirit's invitation

Chorus

I was dancin' with the devil

till Jesus Christ cut in

I was jukin' and a' jivin'

to the rhythm of my sin

Until my dear sweet Savior

asked me to walk with Him

I was dancin' with the devil

till Jesus Christ cut in

Bridge

Sins are forgiven, old life buried and dead

Now I'll follow Jesus wherever I'm led

Chorus

I was dancin' with the devil

till Jesus Christ cut in

I was jukin' and a' jivin'

to the rhythm of my sin

Until my dear sweet Savior

asked me to walk with Him

I was dancin' with the devil

till Jesus Christ cut in
