Get Thee Behind Me Jesus

by Billy Joe Shaver

Get thee behind me, Satan

For I command it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, of Nazareth

Get thee behind me, Satan

For I command it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ

I looked into the mirror and I couldn't see myself

The demons that were in me had turned me wrong side out

I knew inside my soul I was headed straight for hell

But I couldn’t for my life figure how to help myself

Get thee behind me, Satan

For I command it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, of Nazareth

Get thee behind me, Satan

For I command it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ

The moon and stars were hidden by the shroud that clouded 'round

I could see my loved ones weeping as they lowered me in the ground

No word was spoken over me I almost thought I died

Then I knew I wasn't dead I had been buried alive

Get thee behind me, Satan

For I command it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, of Nazareth

Get thee behind me, Satan

For I command it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ

I couldn’t see my hand in front of my face

I knew that I was buried in the deepest darkest place

The deeds that I had done put me in this awful place

Then I felt the stir inside me and the smoke came 'cross my face 

 

Get thee behind me, Satan

For I command it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, of Nazareth

Get thee behind me, Satan

For I command it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ
