Satan is Real

Satan is Real - The Louvin Brothers

Satan is real working in spirit

You can see him and hear

Him in this world

Every day

Satan is real

Working

With power

He can tempt you and

Lead you astray

I attended service at

A little church

In the country not long ago

A prayer was led by an

Old country preacher

Who then raised his hands

As everyone stood and sang

My god is real

A warm breeze through

The open windows

Brought in the smell

Of new mown hay in a

Nearby field

And the singing of birds

Could be heard

In the moment of silence

As the preacher opened

The Bible to read

And then

A little old man

Stood up

Bent with

Age

His hair thin and white

And said

Preacher

Tell them

That satan is real too

You can hear him in songs

That give praise to

Idols

And sinful things

Of this world

You can see him in

The destruction

Of homes torn

Apart

I know that satan is real

For once I had a happy home

I was loved and respected

By my family

I was looked upon as a leader

In my community

And then

Satan came into my life

I grew selfish

And un neighborly

My friends turned against me

And finally my home

Was broken apart

My children took their paths

Into a world of sin

Yes preacher

It's sweet

To know that god is real

And know that in him all

Things are possible

And we know that heaven

Is a real place

Where joy shall never end

But sinner friend

If you're here today

Satan is real too

And hell is a real place

A place of everlasting

Punishment

Satan is real

Working in spirit

You can see him and hear

Him in this world

Every day

Satan is real

Working

With power

He can tempt you

And lead you astray
