LYRICS - SHAKE THE DEVIL OFF
(Composed by Dorothy Norwood October 1995)
Chorus 1:
Shake shake shake
Shake the devil off
Shake shake shake
Shake the devil off
Shake shake shake
Shake the devil off
In the name of Jesus
Shake the devil off
Verse:
Don't let him ride,
He might want to drive
Don't let him get you down,
Put you on the ground
He's out there seeking,
Whom he may devour
But you've got to rebuke him
Shake him a-loose somehow!
Chorus 2:
He's under my feet
Shake the devil off
He's under my feet
Shake the devil off
He's under my feet
Shake the devil off
In the name of Jesus
Shake the devil off.
Vamp:
In the name of Jesus
Ending:
Shake the devil off
