When you walk through the garden, You gotta watch your back
Well I beg your pardon, Walk the straight and narrow track
If you walk with Jesus, He's gonna save your soul
You gotta keep the Devil, Way down in the hole
He's got the fire and the fury, At his command
Well you don't have to worry, If you hold on to Jesus hand
We'll all be safe from Satan, When the thunder rolls
We just gotta help me keep the Devil, Way down in the hole
INST:
All the Angels sing, About Jesus' mighty sword
And they'll shield you with their wings, An' keep you close to the Lord
Don't pay heed to temptation, For his hands are so cold
You gotta help me keep the Devil, Way down in the hole
Down in the hole, Down in the hole, Down in the hole, Down in the hole
Down in the hole, Down in the hole
You gotta help me keep the Devil, Way down in the hole
