| Lyrics: | (Washington Phillips)
(G) - (C) - (D)
(G) I wanna tell you people it's a nat'ral fact
Ev'ry man don't understand 'bout the life
And that's (C) all, I tell you that's (G) all
'Cause you better have (D) Jesus
I tell you that's (G) all
Well, the
denominations have the right to fight
They ought go on and treat each other right
And
that's all, I tell you that's all
'Cause you better have Jesus
I tell you that's all
It's right to stand together, wrong to stand apart
When none will enter heaven but
the pure at heart
And that's all, I'll tell you that's all
'Cause you better have Jesus
I'll tell you that's all
Well, the primitive Baptists they believe
That you
can't go to heaven 'less you wash your feet
And that's all, I'll tell you that's all
'Cause you better have Jesus
I tell you that's all
Well, the African Methodists,
they believe the same
'Cause they know demonination ain't a thing but a name
And that's
all, I'll tell you that's all
'Cause you better have Jesus
I tell you that's all
Well, people that jump from church to church
You can bet their conversion don't
amount too much
And that's all, I'll tell you that's all
'Cause you better have Jesus
I tell you that's all
Well, you can to your college, you can go to your school
But if you ain't got Jesus, you'se (you are) an educated fool
And that's all, I'll tell
you that's all
'Cause you better have Jesus
I tell you that's all |
