The Contract
V1: The devil sat in my kitchen,

Drinking a cup of my tea.

He said; “Come on in, sit right down

You’ve nothing to fear from me”.


“I’ve got you an offer

I know you can’t ignore.

You give me your mortal soul

I’ll give you so much more”.


Chorus: I said; “No, no Satan

Don’t waste your time with me.

My soul belongs to Jesus Christ.

His love has set me free”


“You can promise anything in the world,

But you can’t outbid The Lord.

My soul is much too precious,

It’s a price you can’t afford”

V2: He put his hand in his pocket

Placed some paper in my hand.

“It’s a standard contract.

It’s easy to understand”.


“You can have everything.

The whole world, yours, for free.

Put your name on the dotted line

And sell your soul to me”.


Chorus


V3: The devil took a moment,

Had another sip of his tea.

“Money when you want it

Think of how rich you could be”


Women falling at your feet

Mansions everywhere.

Cars the size of aeroplanes,

Worshipped from near and far”


Chorus:


V4: “You could give money to the poor.

Eradicate all hate.

“Make the world a better place.

Think of the world you’d create”.


“I offer you everything you could want.

No more trouble no more strife.

You throw it aside without a thought.

For a promise of an afterlife”.

Chorus:


To end: “It’s a price you can’t afford”
