Satan You're A Liar
Shirley Caesar Lyrics

You said I'd never make it, you said I'd wouldn't last
You said I wouldn't be able to reach my goals or endure the challenges that come with them.

You said I'd be returning to my actions of the past
You said I would go back to the negative behaviors and habits that I used to have.

With the crowd I used to run with, saying the things I used to say
You expected me to surround myself with the same people and engage in the same speech that I used to before.

But I wish you'd stand back, take a look at me today
But I want you to see me now and acknowledge how I have progressed and succeeded despite your doubts and criticisms.

Satan, you're a liar, you're a liar
I'm addressing you, Satan, as someone who is dishonest and constantly deceives.

You should know by now I know you are a liar
I am aware of your deceitful ways and cannot be easily tricked or manipulated by you.

There's one thing you can't deny
There is one truth that even you, Satan cannot dispute.

You're the father of every lie, you're a liar
You are the source of every falsehood and are inherently untruthful.

I gave my heart to Jesus, you laughed and I heard you speak
I committed my life to following Jesus, and I heard you mock me and plant doubts in my mind.

Remember you spoke through someone that it would not last a week
You told me through another person that my faith would not endure and I would inevitably fall away from it.

But I've walked with the Master through the flood and through the fire
Despite the hardships that have come my way, I have remained faithful to Jesus.

And if I've learned anything at all, I've learned you are a liar
Through my experiences and my faith, I have come to understand that you, Satan, are a habitual liar.

There's one more thing devil I wanna tell ya
I have one more important message to communicate to you, Satan.

I know your everything in this world except my friend
You may have control and influence over many aspects of this world, but you are not my ally or confidant, Satan.

But still you have the courage
Despite being identified as a liar and adversary, you still have the temerity to approach me.

The nerve to come around and bother me again
You persist in bothering me and trying to lead me astray despite my faith and conviction.

To tell me I'm not born again, Heaven' is not reality
You try to undermine my faith by telling me that I haven't truly been saved and that the concept of heaven is not real.

If Jesus Christ is not the Son of God, Satan listen good to me
I am reaffirming my belief in Jesus as the son of God and stating that even if you don't accept it, I know it to be true.

You're a liar, a listen
Again, you are a liar, and I urge you to listen.

You tried to tell me I wasn't born again
Once more, you tried to undermine my faith by telling me that I had not truly been saved.

True liar
You are indeed a liar who habitually deceives.

You tried to tell me God wasn't gonna heal my body
You attempted to convince me that God was not going to heal me, thus trying to shake my faith and trust in the Lord.

Satan you're liar
Addressing Satan once again as a liar.
