Dear John Letter (To the Devil)
by Keith Green

Album: The Ministry Years, Vol. 1

Oh, I used to love you
But now that's hard to do
Cause I got some information
'Bout them evil things at night that you do
And the whole thing is true
We're through
Oh you're such a devil
How'd you get me to believe you were true
Oooh!

Oh, my momma warned me
And how my daddy cried
The day I left my home
You said you'd always keep me satisfied
But oh, how you lied
You lied!
Well I should have heard my momma's words
But then I guess I had too much pride
Original sin! Whoa!

I used to lie awake at night
And see your face on the ceiling, ohh
What a bad feeling I have
When I think of how you almost got me
In the ways of the world
In the ways of the world

My so-called friends say I misjudged you
My anger's all in vain
But I'm afraid you got to them
Before I had a chance to explain
And it caused me such pain
Ouch!
Cause they were such good friends of mine
But now you've got them playing your game
You creep! Whoa!

I used to lie awake at night
And see your face on the ceiling
What a bad feeling I have
When I think of how you almost got me
In the ways of the world
In the ways of the world
Oh, in the ways of the world
In the ways of the world

Well, I believe in Jesus
And what he said he's gonna do
He'll put an apple in your lying mouth
And cook you in a sulfur stew
Wooo, one that'll never be through
Is it soup yet? No!
Oh, but if he hadn't rescued me
Then I'd be down there cooking too
Oh, if Jesus hadn't rescued me
Then I'd be cooking right next to you, ooooh

I used to lie awake at night
And see your face on the ceiling, haha
What a great feeling I have
When I think of how you're gonna get yours
At the end of the world
At the end of the world
Oh, at the end of the world
At the end of the world
Oh, at the end of the world
