Get thee behind me Satan
D A E
For I command it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth
A
Get thee behind me Satan
D A E A
For I command it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ
[Verse 1]
A D
I looked into the mirror and I couldn't see myself
A E
The demons that were in me had turned me wrong side out

But I couldn't for my life figure how to help myself

[Verse 2]
A D
The moon and stars were hidden by the shroud that clouded round
A E
I could see my loved one weepin' as they lowered me in the ground
A D
No words were spoken over me I almost thought I'd died
A E A
Then I knew I wasn't dead I had been buried alive (and I said)
[Chorus]

Get thee behind me Satan

[Verse 3]
A D
I couldn't see my hand in front of my face
A E
I knew that I was buried in the deepest darkest place
A D
The deeds I had done put me in this awful place
A E A
Then I felt a stir inside me and a smile came 'cross my face (and I said)
[Chorus]
A
Get thee behind me Satan
D A E
For I command it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth
A
Get thee behind me Satan
