Quite sometime ago I had a situation in my family where a member was drifting into territory that was not Christian. Honestly I can say it was a scarry time in my families lives. I was asked for advice and I said put your faith in Christ and return to your Christian beliefs and your problems will disappear. And so it was.
THANKS BE TO GOD.
As all this was happening I had the chorus of this song playing in my head. I've always wanted to do a song with POPPOPRON and I felt he would be the perfect person to write the verses for me. We had also asked James Cain for some advice and so besides firming up lyrics he agreed to do vocals (he's also doing the acoustic lead). Now I sincerely appreciate that because he's been having some health problems but in his usual pro way he knocked the vocals on this out of the ball park. So Ron and James thanks so much for working on this with me. The song is very special to me and I'm proud to have cowritten with the both of you.

My life was growing out of control....
Drugs had a grip on me
Thought I had the world by the tail....
But the devil had me deceived
I was riding lost on a hell bound path
With Satan at the reins I lost faith
Racing away from happiness and peace
To a life filled with pain and hate
My Daddy stood in front of me
It’s a path to Hell Son you've been deceived
If you don't believe, you better believe in the Lord
'cause if you don't believe you might just open up a door
the devil might sneak through and steal your soul from you
So if you don't believe you better believe in the Lord
As I look back on the path I chose
And the path I choose today
I got off Satan's Hell bound ways
and the love of Jesus' set me free
Now the way is straight and narrow...
On the path to glory land
And if you want to go there with me
Put your life in the Saviors’ hand
I'm saying come share love and peace
Ask our Savior for release
If you don't believe, you better believe in the Lord
'cause if you don't believe you might just open up a door
the devil might sneak through and steal your soul from you
So if you don't believe you better believe in the Lord
If you don't believe, you better believe in the Lord
Cause if you don't believe you might just open up a door
the devil might sneak through and steal your soul from you
So if you don't believe you better believe in the Lord
The Devil might sneak through and steal your soul from you
And if you don’t believe….If you don’t believe
If you don’t believe
You better believe in the Lord
