The 14th episode of Bob Dylan's

"Theme Time Radio Hour",

was about the topic 'Devil'.





"... Like it says in 1. Peter, chapter 5, verse 8:

'Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil,

as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.'..."

Satan is Real
The Louvin Brothers




Satan is real, working in spirit

You can see him and hear him in this world everyday

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.

The 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 his Bible to read.

And then a little old man stood up, bent with aids, 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 destuction 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 unneighborly. 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 to

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.”

Way Down In The Hole
Tom Waits




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

All the angels sing about Jesus' mighty sword

And they'll shield you with their wings

And 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

Down in the hole
