SATAN CAME TO MY HOUSE
Dauphin, MB before going to Israel, 1979
We encountered an incident wherein religious people, friendly and all, counseled us to reconsider an undertaking we knew was the Lord’s leading. We were learning that Satan’s servants are ever there, with Bible under arm, God’s praises on their lips, prepared to do battle “with love.”
The strange thing is that while I recall the Lord giving me what to say to these people, I do not recall what those words were.
After these many years having the song, we changed the name this year of 2020 from The Father Gave Me Words to Satan Came to My House.
VERSE 1
Satan came to my house one evening.
He tried to cast a doubt into my mind.
With his mouth he blessed the Lord,
And with his face he flashed a smile.
Satan came to my house one evening.
VERSE 2
At the time I didn’t know it was the devil.
He often comes in the guise of a good man.
But I knew there was a battle
And strong resistance from his vessel
And the Father gave me words to speak to him.
Satan came to my house one evening.
He tried to cast a doubt into my mind.
With his mouth he blessed the Lord,
And with his face he flashed a smile.
Satan came to my house one evening.
VERSE 3
The Lord has given us commandment
To trust in Him, with all our hearts,
To shun the works and the words and ways of man.
And if we’re true to His commandment,
Then peace will follow and victory too
And men will have no power to make us stray away from Him.
VERSE 2, REPEATED:
At the time I didn’t know it was the devil.
He often comes in the guise of a good man.
But I knew there was a battle
And strong resistance from his vessel
And the Father gave me words to speak to him.
And the Father gave me words to speak to him.
Satan est venu chez moi

COUPLET 1
Satan est venu chez moi un soir.
Il a essayé de jeter un doute dans mon esprit.
De sa bouche, il a béni le Seigneur,
Avec son visage, il a fait un sourire.
Satan est venu chez moi un soir.
COUPLET 2
À ce moment-là, je ne savais pas que c’était le diable.
Il vient souvent sous l’apparence d’un homme bon.
Mais je savais qu’il y avait une bataille
Et une forte résistance de la part de son vaisseau
Et le Père me donna des mots à lui dire.
Satan est venu chez moi un soir.
Il a essayé de jeter un doute dans mon esprit.
De sa bouche, il a béni le Seigneur,
Avec son visage, il a fait un sourire.
Satan est venu chez moi un soir.
COUPLET 3
Le Seigneur nous a donné le commandement
De Lui faire confiance, de tous nos cœurs,
De fuir les œuvres et les paroles et les voies de l’homme.
Et si nous sommes fidèles à Son commandement,
Alors la paix s’en suivra et la victoire aussi
Et les hommes n’auront aucun pouvoir pour nous faire nous éloigner de Lui.
Satan est venu chez moi un soir.
Il a essayé de jeter un doute dans mon esprit.
De sa bouche, il a béni le Seigneur,
Avec son visage, il a fait un sourire.
Satan est venu chez moi un soir.
COUPLET 2, RÉPÉTÉ
À ce moment-là, je ne savais pas que c’était le diable.
Il vient souvent sous l’apparence d’un homme bon.
Mais je savais qu’il y avait une bataille
Et une forte résistance de la part de son vaisseau
Et le Père me donna des mots à lui dire.
Et le Père me donna des mots à lui dire.
