An Anthem for SATB by the same title. Check out my novel: The Reach Beyond Tomorrow

THE DEVIL'S OWN
words by William F. Rayer

1.
Thinking we're safe from satan
and we are living our lives in sin.
He watches for all our errors
and knows when we have gone astray

Thinking we're all there is
and we are treating ourselves as number one.
We treat all others around us
as obstastacles and people in the way.

He is looking for you
for he is ev'rywhere
you had better watch out
or he will make you the devil's own.

Listen to what I say
and be wary of what you do
'cause satan's in the bus'ness
of gathering all who go astray.

2.
Choosing a life that wanders
and never loving the ones near to us.
He thrives on all our mistakes
and adds  them to his dirty list.

Ev'rything we say
and ev'rything that we do is that list.
If kindness is never given
we lose lose our souls and even more.

He is looking for you
for he is ev'rywhere
you had better watch out
or he will make you the devil's own.

Listen to what I say
and be wary of what you do
'cause satan's in the bus'ness
of gathering all who go astray.

3.
Trusting in God our Father,
living and loving as He has shown.
His Son has taken our sins
but always beware and pray to God.

Satan is always near us,
and he is looking for ways to take our souls.
So always look to your Father
and live your life as he has asked.

He is looking for you
for he is ev'rywhere
you had better watch out
or he will make you the devil's own.

Listen to what I say
and be wary of what you do
'cause Satan's in  the bus'ness
of gathering all who go astray.
