The Devil Makes Three Follow

Even the devil was an angel before he tried to rush the throne
Lord, they threw him down in Hell there all alone
Now he builds a castle made out of the sinners bones
You'd be angry too if you could never go home

I ain't no preacher man, no preacher man's son
I've done some bad things but I like to have my fun
There's a thousand ways to heaven, a thousand ways to hell, but they do say the good lord helps those that help themselves, so help yourself

Old man Nicodemus could not make his heart believe But he could see that Jesus had some tricks up his sleeve
He said "oh man, Jesus, I can't do things your way, but i can see you work for somebody big, so I'm backing your play"
Old man Nicodemus, they say his pockets were deep, so on the day the romans decided to put Jesus to sleep, Jesus could not care for money now or any such thing, But old man Nicodemus paid to have Jesus buried like a king

Now, I ain't no preacher, no preacher man's son. I've done some bad things but i like to have my fun, There's a thousand ways to heaven, a thousand ways to hell, but they do say the good lord helps those that help themselves, so help yourself

Our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, Old Noah built a boat on the driest of days and everybody in the old neighborhood said Noah was insane, I guess when the waters receded now the truth was laid

I ain't no preacher man, No preacher man's son. I've done some bad things, but i like to have my fun, there's a thousand ways to heaven, a thousand ways to hell, but I do say the good lord helps those that help themselves, so help yourself

Moses was a great man, he parted the waters of the red sea, Down the road to Egypt, made sure the slaves were free.
Well, he could speak to god they say, yes indeed, but the sound of his voice would have made our poor ears bleed

Moses, he had an army, I tell ya, all his own, they stood in circles outside his very home and when the Pharohs got to killing they left old Moses alone, But the romans drove the nails through old Jesus' bones

Well, now I ain't no preacher man, No preacher man's son. I've done some bad things, but i like to have my fun, why they got Jesus now, and not Moses, None can tell. But they say the good lord helps those who help themselves, so help yourself now.
