about

Go looking for Jesus? Watch out for the devil, he might be waiting there. Kind of like shopping for a used car.

lyrics

Go down to the river look for Jesus there
Watch out for the devil, he might be waiting there

Went down to the river to look for Jesus there
Went down to the river child, the devil laid his snare
The devil laid his snare

Offered wine and women, offered gold and fame
Offered everything I wanted, 'Can Jesus match my game?'
'Can Jesus match my game?'

Go down to the river look for Jesus there
Watch out for the devil, he might be waiting there

Took his offer into Jesus threw it in his face
Asked if he could match this deal, then he put me in my place
He put me in my place

'Can not give you women, can not give you gold
But come down to the river child and I will save your soul
I can save your soul'

Must say I was tempted that deal was hard to beat
Told that devil I’d pass it by and kneel at Jesus’ feet
I'd kneel at Jesus' feet

Went back to the river, I met sweet Jesus there
He forgave me all my sins and saved me from that snare
Saved me from that snare

You go down to the river look for Jesus there
Watch out for the devil, he might be waiting there
