[30:50] Of his own lust And enticed And then sin When it's finished Bringeth forth death Amen See sin don't stop Oh well I think I'll just do this Because the devil's tempting me You know I got the Holy Ghost I can take it Now if you've got The real Holy Ghost You got enough power To abstain from The very appearance of it Can you say amen Hallelujah You know some people's Got a price I shouldn't say this Some Christians Have got a price That they're for sale For the right price I just gotta throw this Some people's price Is 310 million dollars That's your price Amen Brother man Was you tempted To go buy you A lottery ticket No it wasn't Because I done knew That the great chances Of me winning Were so astronomically Overwhelming That I wasn't gonna Blow my money on But what could I do
