Dave Carter - Snake-Handlin' Man lyrics

Baby I was born to the blood in the service of the lord of hosts Marched through the valley of the shadow of d**h at the biddin' of the holy ghost Baby I would Hey, baby, you know I can Holy fire down in my belly and brimstone in my eyes Everything that a woman might need and the need just might arise I'm a light-bringer and a soul-singer I'm a snake-handlin' man Six-foot cottonmouth hangin' from a tree on a sultry summer night Sling that serpent around my neck and I take him for a ride Baby I would Hey, baby, you know I can 'cause I got a heart that shines in the dark like the road to the pearly gates You come creepin' up the slow lane baby but you know I just can't wait I'm a fire-walker and a straight-talker I'm a snake-handlin' man Mix that poison up good and strong and lift it to my lips I'll go preachin' in the pale moonlight with a viper in my grip Baby I Would Hey, baby, you know I can Nobody gonna turn me 'round or make me feel ashamed I got the power and I got the right, I'm written in the book of names Wadin' that river jordan I'm a snake-handlin' man Well I got the armor and I got the shield and I got the sword of truth Takin' that angel harp in hand, gonna pick it with a rattler's tooth Baby I Would Hey, baby, you know I can Build this tower on the rock of ages and it reaches to the sky Straight and tall as jacob's ladder, I'm here to testify Can I get a witness I'm a snake-handlin' man Speakin in lost tongues sayin' praised be jesus I'm a snake-handlin' man
