Song: The Old Man is Dead
We wrote this song (Mary, Mickey, Chris, and I) when the boys were about 7 and 9 years old. We sang it dancing around the basement for a surprisingly long time. A nice evening. Some words may be wrong in this version, I'll correct them when I locate my copies of my songs.

The Old Man is Dead
c. Ray, Mickey, Chis, Marty Phoenix

The old man is dead and the new man is living
The old man is buried and we are forgiven
The new man is born and he's headed for heaven
and the old man is gone away

The old man is gone with all of his power
The new man is living in God from this hour
The blessings of God now upon him will shower
And the old man is gone away

the old man is gone and now God can call us
Satan has lost all his power to appall us
The devil's defeated with all of his malice
and the old man has gone away

repeat from the beginning with even more enthusiasm than before. Do this indefinitely.
