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
|
|
|
|
An
atmosphere of trouble has been brewin’ on my mind |
|
I just can’t
hide out nowhere where it don’t know where to find |
|
Sure I know
what I’d inherit if I’d let myself be meek |
|
But I’m not
that good a man yet just to turn the other cheek
|
|
|
|
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
|
