Christ fought the devil
That he could not get the best of me
Christ fought the devil,
Before he could even get to me

All my friends in my hometown
they’re tryin’ to drag me down
They claim they don’t want me to feel guilty
and say praying is for the weak,
that praying is for the weak
But I say:

Christ fought the devil
That he could not get the best of me
Christ fought the devil,
Before he could even get to me

God has a marvelous plan for me
that satan tries to thwart
And every time Jesus plants a seed,
Satan says: “Kill it before it grows”
Satan says: “Kill it before it grows”
I say…

Christ fought the devil,
and He laid down His life for me
Christ fought the devil,
He did it so He could set me free

Freedom came my way one day
when I reached out to God, yeah
All of a sudden I was set free indeed
Heaven came down to me
Yes, Heaven came down to me
I’m saved!

Christ fought the devil,
He is stronger than the enemy
Christ won the battle,
That’s when my Saviour rescued me

Gods Spirit paid a visit to me
Opened my eyes, made me see
Even though things might not always go that well
God will help you figure it all out
Yes, God will help you figure it all out
So I say…

Christ fought the devil,
And satan had to admit defeat, oh yeah
Christ won the battle,
Did it all to gain the victory, oh yeah
