Lyrics
Now, if I were a queen and a ruler of nations
With diamonds and jewels profound
Well, I'd rather know that I had salvation
Than to know my reward would be Satan's jewel crown
Satan's jewel crown, I've worn it so long
But God for my soul has reached down
His love set me free, He made me his own
And helped me cast off Satan's jewel crown
Oh, this life that I live, so sinful and needless
Drinkin' and runnin' around
All the things that I do for the love of the Devil
I know my reward will be Satan's jewel crown
Satan's jewel crown, I've worn it so long
But God for my soul has reached down
His love set me free, He made me his own
And helped me cast off Satan's jewel crown
