This page gathers hymns encountered in the course of research into signs following communities. Some were recorded in worship services, some were found in online archives, and others survive only as typed lyric sheets or handwritten pages passed from hand to hand. Not every hymn presented here can be traced to a particular serpent-handling congregation; rather, these songs come from the broader musical world in which signs following believers have worshiped, inherited, and adapted their traditions. Together, they offer a window into the devotional life of congregations whose worship is often described through practice, but just as deeply expressed through song.
No single collection could represent every church or every tradition. These hymns vary from congregation to congregation, family to family, and singer to singer. Lyrics are often adapted in the moment, verses added or omitted, and melodies carried differently across regions and generations. What appears here should be understood as a living body of music rather than a fixed canon.
Many songs reflect themes central to signs following faith: healing, holiness, divine protection, endurance through suffering, baptism in its various forms, the power of testimony, and readiness for the life to come. Others are older gospel or Pentecostal standards that have been received into local tradition and made their own.
This is not simply a list of songs. It is a record of worship, memory, and belief as voiced in the sanctuaries, homes, and gatherings surrounding signs following communities.

In the beginning God created man
From his own image, Formed of his own hand
Saints all tell the 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 Death
Oh hear my plea
Do you still have Jesus
Or did you set him free
This is now the first day
They laid him in the ground
Tell me Death, tell me Death
Can you hold him down
Oh Can you hold him down
(Death) Satan oh Satan
Satan hear me well
I promise oh I promise
That I shall not fail
That I shall not fail
(Satan) Tell me Death, tell me Death
This is the second day
Do you still have Jesus or did he get away
Oh 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
Well he’s just a mortal man
And I make this vow to you
He won’t escape my hand
He won’t escape my hand
(Satan) Tell me Death, tell me Death
Oh 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
We’ve overcome God’s Son
(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
He arose up from the ground
He has risen He has risen
Oh proclaim him King of Kings
He has risen He has risen
Oh proclaim him Lord of Lords
He has risen He has risen
Oh he lives forever more
He has risen He has risen
Oh proclaim him Lord of Lords
Proclaim him Lord of Lords

Like a prodigal son
I wandered in darkness
The clutches of sin
They clung to my soul
My burdens were heavy
My sins were so many
But when I touched Jesus
He made me whole
I pressed through the crowd
Reached out and touched Jesus
The sweet holy spirit
Came into my soul
I knew I’d been changed
My sins all forgiven
‘Cause when I touched Jesus
He made me whole
Like the woman who tried
Many physicians
When she touched Jesus
Was healed on that day
My sickness was different
My sins were so many
When I touched Jesus
He washed them away
I pressed through the crowd
Reached out and touched Jesus
The sweet holy spirit
Came into my soul
I knew I’d been changed
My sins all forgiven
‘Cause when I touched Jesus
He made me whole
Well Paul was a Pharisee
He didn’t understand
Til the Lord took him
Made a Lord Jesus man
Lord Jesus Lord Jesus Lord Jesus

Well Paul sat by the fire that day
A serpent in his hand
It didn’t hurt and it didn’t swell
He’s a Lord Jesus man
Lord Jesus Lord Jesus Lord Jesus

Paul said the Jews won’t hear me
So I’m going to the Gentile Land
Gonna take my Bible and preach to the people

So I’m going to the Promised Land

A serpent in his hand
It didn’t hurt and it didn’t swell

“Whatever you do in word or deed,
Do in Lord Jesus Name”
Lord Jesus Lord Jesus Lord Jesus

So I’m going to the Gentile Land
Gonna take my Bible and preach to the people

There’s only one baptism
And that’s the one I’m in
Lord Jesus Lord Jesus Lord Jesus
I’m a Lord Jesus man
