[Verse 1]
"Have a little drink" No, thank you, brother
"Wanna get rich?" Don't need it brother
"Wanna fool around?" No, thank you, sister
Ain't you heard that that old evil man within me died?
"Let's have a party" I ain't going
"What you gonna do?" I'm gonna keep praying
And keep working out my salvation
Trying to get sanctified

[Pre-Chorus]
No more condemnation, repented
Jesus brought salvation, He saved me
Justification brought me safely to his side
And as I get to know him more
He gives me a taste of the coming glory
And I'm trying to whip the devil
I'm trying to get sanctified

[Chorus]
Sanctified, sanctified
I'm working to whip the devil
I'm trying to get sanctified

[Verse 2]
"Don't go to church" Yes, I'm going
"Why you read that old Bible?" 'cause I like it
"Well, I don't believe in God" Well, God bless you
You ain't got no argument for what I feel inside
"Aw, have a little fun" That's what I'm having
"Life's passing you by" I can hardly wait
Well, I've got my mind set upon eternity
Trying to get sanctified
