Saturday Video

A little old-timey gospel/country for you.  This song is dedicated in part to my Pentecostal minister Great-Grandfather. Take a close look at the musicians pictured here. One of them was an alcoholic. The other was not. I'm sure you can spot the difference.

As for the lyrics, take them as you will.

Satan's jeweled crown
I've worn it so long
But God for my soul has reached down
His love set me free

He made me His own,
and helped me cast off
Satan's jeweled crown

If I could be king and a ruler of nations,
Wear diamonds and jewels profound
Well, I'd rather know that I had salvation

Than to know my reward
is Satan's jeweled crown

I've worn it so long
but God for my Soul has reached down
His love set me free

He made me His own,
and helped me cast off
Satan's jeweled crown

Oh, the life that I live is
so sinful and needless,
Drinkin' and runnin' around

When I live my life
So reckless and evil
The things I would do
are the will of the Devil

I was giving my soul
for Satan's jeweled crowd

I know my reward
Will be Satan's jeweled crown

Satan's jeweled crown
I've worn it so long
But God for my soul has reached down
His love set me free

He made me His own
and helped me cast off
Satan's jeweled crown
