Rich Mullins - Quoting Deuteronomy To The Devil Lyrics
Rich MullinsMatthew 5:13-16, Matthew 23:1-7Luke 18:9-14When the dancers took to the promenadeWell my heart leapt highAnd I was unafraidOf the feeling I'd stifled for so many yearsTell me how do youHow do you feelWell the band took their places and got all in tuneAnd then the caller's voiceWell it rang out beneath the moonAnd then the boys took their girls and they started to reelAnd they were singin' how do you, how do you feelAnd then the people in the town said that they'd call the policeIf we didn't keep down all this disturbin' their peaceAnd Officer Black, you know he answered their pleasAnd he ran up on the hill just to seeWell he hid in the bushes just a stone's throw awayAnd then we all saw this change comin' over his faceBut he was bouncin' to the beat and started hoppin' on his heelsSingin', how do you do, how do you feelAnd then the townspeople asked him if he'd make some arrestsCould they find peace and quiet so they could go back to bedHe said if it's peace that you want, you're gonna find it on the hillBut the silence that you keep is the silence that killsSo the townspeople all got so uptight and madYou know they fired him on the spotAnd then they threw away his badgeThen they asked him to leave and he said gladly I willThey said tell us now how do you feelHe said, when the dancers took to the promenadeWell my heart leapt high and I was unafraidOf the feeling I'd stifled for so many yearsTell me how do you, how do you feel
