:) :) Hi everyone. I am looking for the music and lyrics to an old gospel song called "The Conversation" It is of Satan talking to his minion about the capture and holding of Jesus. I heard this on tape at a friend of a friends house and didn't get the artist of the song. It is very profound and I would like to find this so our drama class at church may perform it. If anyone has any information on this please email me at [email]yylancelotyy@yahoo.com[/email] . Thank you all Skip
Hey,
I searched around but couldn't find it, so sorry. It must be rather obscure, probably because it's on cassette and not CD.

Come visit and say hi!
i have the lyrics in my car! we're singing it this sunday for easter :) if you still need em let me know! The verses are as follows but the actual conversation part is fuzzy...
In the beginning God created man. In His own image, formed by His own hand. But Satan, oh Satan, he tempted man to fall. He had to find a sacrifice, to die once and for all....to die once and for all.
So He sent His Son to die, ohh the pain He bore. They layed Him in a borrowed tomb, the stone held fast the door. The saints all tell a story, I'm about to tell, about a conversation from the pits of hell....from the pits of hell.
This is a very powerful song and I get chills everytime I hear it! Also if you need the chords I have them too. :)
ok here it is...and i'm posting it here in case any other ppl would like the words
The Conversation
In the beginning God created man. In His own image, formed by His own hand. But Satan, oh Satan, he tempted man to fall. He had to find a sacrifice, to die once and for all....to die once and for all.
So He sent His Son to die, ohh the pain He bore. They layed Him in a borrowed tomb, the stone held fast the door. The saints all tell a story, I'm about to tell, about a conversation from the pits of hell....from the pits of hell.
(SATAN) Tell me, Death tell me--Oh Death, hear my plea--do we still have Jesus, or did you set him free? This is now the first day, they've laid him in the ground. Tell me, Oh Death tell me--can you hold him down? (ALL) Can you hold him down?
(DEATH) Satan, oh Satan, Satan hear me well--I promise, oh I promise, that I shall not fail...(ALL) That I shall not fail
(SATAN) Tell me, Death tell me--this is the second day. Do you still have Jesus or did he get away? (ALL) Did he get away?
(DEATH) Satan, Oh Satan--hear me now, once more--The greatest kings and rich men have walked through my dark door. This Jesus, he's no different, he's just a mortal man, and I make this vow to you--He won't escape my hand--no--(ALL) He won't escape my hand!
(SATAN) Tell me, Death, tell me....Tell me don't be slow. Do you still have Jesus or did you let him go? He's been dead for three days, the victory's been won--it's time for celebration--We've overcome God's Son....(ALL) We've overcome God's Son!!
***now this last part of the conversation starts off very slow for dramatic effect then starts to pick up temp again on the 3rd statement and back to original temp by the last statement***
(DEATH) Satan, oh Satan, hear me what I say....This morning, OH this morning, the stone was rolled away!! I just couldn't stop him--I couldn't hold him down. With power oh great power, He arose up from the ground!! (ALL) He arose up from the ground!!!
ALL)
HE HAS RISEN(he has risen) HE HAS RISEN(he has risen)
OH DEATH WHERE IS THY STING??
HE HAS RISEN(he has risen) HE HAS RISEN(he has risen)
OH, PROCLAIM HIM KING OF KINGS!!!
HE HAS RISEN(he has risen) HE HAS RISEN(he has risen)
OH, HE LIVES FOREVER MORE!!!
HE HAS RISEN(he has risen) HE HAS RISEN(he has risen)
