If it was good enough for Jesus that’s good enough for me

I try to say I’ll do it then I don’t much act like He

I’ve been turned away and fallen and I’m dyin’ to be free

If it was good enough for Jesus that’s good enough for me

       

I fell into a barroom… just another Friday night

Although I wasn’t lookin’ don’t you know I found a fight

One to doubt my reputation while he hooked me with his right

And begot that room to fadin’ when I shoulda seen the light

      

If it was good enough for Jesus that’s good enough for me

I try to say I’ll do it then I don’t much act like He

I’ve been turned away and fallen and I’m dyin’ to be free

If it was good enough for Jesus that’s good enough for me

My temper started boilin’ as I crawled up off that floor

The crowd they all were yellin’ “Sock him down to knot the score!”

As my left uncorked and landed I recalled my Mama’s words

I wished I would’ve listened though I guess I never heard

      

If it was good enough for Jesus that’s good enough for me

I try to say I’ll do it then I don’t much act like He

I’ve been turned away and fallen and I’m dyin’ to be free

If it was good enough for Jesus that’s good enough for me

       

My vi’lent lust kept growin’… man all hell came bustin’ loose

His blood it shot out flowin’ just like hot tomato juice

Then the cops blew in and took me to the judge who threw the book

Now I sit and think about The Golden Rule that I forsook

        

If it was good enough for Jesus that’s good enough for me

I try to say I’ll do it then I don’t much act like He

I’ve been turned away and fallen and I’m dyin’ to be free

If it was good enough for Jesus that’s good enough for me
