The Devil Went Down to Truth Time
(Verse 1)
The devil went down to Truth Time, he was lookin' to water it down
He was in a bind, had deception on his mind
He was lookin' to take them Down
He came across this preacher layin' rightly down the Word
And the devil jumped up on the airwaves and said,
"Boy, let me tell you what I heard--
(Chorus 1)
you got your right division but give the devil his due
I'll bet this golden Bible against this show
'Cause I think I know it better than you"
(Verse 2)[instrumental swell]
He brought in limited forgivers who rejected the Word of Truth
Disrupters of the Way who would offer no scriptural proof
He championed speaking in tongues, water baptism, traditions of every kind
Universalists, Annihilationists, light dividers — every stripe you could find
(Bridge — spoken/half-sung, building intensity)
When the devil finished speakin', Trey said,
"You're a deceptive one — I'll give you that.
But you sit back in your demon layer
and let me show you where it's at."
(Verse 3 — Triumphant feel)[load double bass drum]
Trey pulled a two-edged sword, sharp and on the ready
Satan made an evil hiss
Lightning flashed across the airway
And it went something like this —
(The Sword Strikes — driving rhythm, spoken-word rapid fire rap)
Jesus died for the world two thousand years ago
The debt was paid — you got played — did you even know?
The mystery hidden in the mind of God
Kept secret 'til He revealed it through the Apostle Paul
You thought you had won — then you turned around
And saw God's risen Son takin' back the captive ones
Every soul you thought you'd never lose
How does the smartest creature on earth
Not even have a clue!
(Scripture Chorus — anthem feel, )
Colossians two, thirteen and fourteen —
The handwriting of ordinances nailed it to the tree
Second Corinthians five, verse nineteen —
God was in Christ, reconcilin
[VICTORIOUS]The world was forgiven. The debt was paid -Christ rose again. [REST]
(Verse 4 — resolution)
When his sword finished flashin', the devil knew that he'd been beat
He laid that golden Bible on the ground at Searcy's feet
Trey looked him in the eye and said,
"If you come back around, there's something you need to know —
We are the Body of Christ, and He has defeated you-- [confident]
So you know where you can go !
(Final Chorus — full band, big finish)
The devil went down to Truth Time, he was lookin' to take it down
But the Word of God stands firm
Trey and Faith held every ground
Fire on the airwaves, God's word as our sword --
You can not win against the finished work
Of the risen, reigning Lord
[Drums Fade out slow]
