you gotta have jesus
[Go to Song Page]
Well I wanna tell you people it's a natural fact
Some will go to heaven, others be held back
And that's all
I tell ya that's all
You know you gotta have Jesus
I tell ya that's all
Well denominations oughtn't have the right to fight
They should forgive one another, treat their brother right
And that's all
Well I tell ya that's all
'Cause you better have Jesus
I tell ya that's all
Yeah it's right to stand together, wrong to stand apart
None will enter heaven but the pure in heart
And that's all
I tell ya that's all yeah
You know you gotta have Jesus
An' I tell ya that's all
Yeah
Well the primitive baptists they believe
That you can't get to heaven 'less you wash your feet
And that's all
I tell ya that's all
You gotta have Jesus
I tell ya that's all
Well the African methodist, they believe the same
But they know denominations ain't nothing but a name
And that's all
I tell ya that's all
Well you better have Jesus
I tell ya that's all
Yeah
People that jump from church to church
Well you can bet their conversation don't amount to much
And that's all

eve of destruction
[Go to Song Page]
The Eastern world, it is exploding
Violence flaring, bullets loading
You're old enough to kill but not for voting
You don't believe in war, but what's that gun you're toting
And even the Jordan river has bodies floating
And you tell me
Over and over and over again my friend
That you don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction
Don't you understand what I'm trying to say
Can't you feel the fears I'm feeling today
If the button is pushed, there's no running away
There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave
If you take a look around you it's bound to scare ya
Tell me
Over and over and over again my friend
You don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction
Yeah my blood's so mad, feels like coagulating
I'm sitting here just uh, contemplating
I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation
Handful of senators can't pass legislation
And marches alone can't bring integration
When human respect keeps disintegrating
This whole crazy world is just too frustrating
Tell me
Over and over and over again my friend
That you don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction
Think of all the hate there is in Red China
Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama
You may leave here for four days in space
But when you return, it's the same old place
The pounding of the drum, the pride and disgrace
You can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace
Hate your next door neighbour but don't forget to say grace
Tell me
Over and over and over and over again my friend
You don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
No you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
You don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
The Eastern world, it is exploding
Violence flaring, bullets loading
You're old enough to kill but not for voting
You don't believe in war, but what's that gun you're toting
And even the Jordan river has bodies floating
And you tell me
Over and over and over again my friend
That you don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction
Don't you understand what I'm trying to say
Can't you feel the fears I'm feeling today
If the button is pushed, there's no running away
There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave
If you take a look around you it's bound to scare ya

You don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
why me lord
[Go to Song Page]
Why me Lord, what have I ever done
To deserve even one
Of the pleasures I've known
Tell me Lord, what did I ever do
That was worthy of you
Or the kindness you've shown
Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it so
Help me Jesus, I know what I am
Now that I know that I needed you so
Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand
Tell me Lord, if you think there's a way
I can try to repay
All I've taken from you
Maybe Lord, I could show someone else
What I've been through myself
On my way back to you
Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it so
Help me Jesus, I know what I am
Now that I know that I've needed you so
Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand
Why me Lord, what have I ever done
To deserve even one
Of the pleasures I've known
Tell me Lord, what did I ever do
That was worthy of you
Or the kindness you've shown
Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it so
Help me Jesus, I know what I am
Now that I know that I needed you so
Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand

Help me Jesus, I know what I am
Now that I know that I needed you so
Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand

lost unto this world
[Go to Song Page]
six feet of chain
[Go to Song Page]
'til kingdom come
[Go to Song Page]
Steel my heart and hold my tongue
I feel my time, my time has come
Let me in, unlock the door
I've never felt this way before
The wheels just keep on turning
The drummer begins to drum
Don't know which way I'm going
Don't know which way I've come
Hold my head inside your hands
I need someone who understands
I need someone, someone who hears
For you I've waited all these years
For you I'd wait 'til kingdom come
Until my day, my day is done
Just say you'll come and set me free
Say you'll wait, you'll wait for me
In your tears and in your blood
In your fire and in your flood
I hear you laugh, I hear you sing
I wouldn't change a single thing
The wheels just keep on turning
The drummers begin to drum
Don't know which way I'm going
I don't know what I've become
For you I'd wait 'til kingdom come (Ah-ah)
Until my days, my days are done (Ah-ah)
So say you'll come and set me free (Aah)
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me (Aah)
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me (Aah)
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me (Aah)
Steel my heart and hold my tongue
I feel my time, my time has come
Let me in, unlock the door
I've never felt this way before
The wheels just keep on turning
The drummer begins to drum
Don't know which way I'm going
Don't know which way I've come
Hold my head inside your hands
I need someone who understands
I need someone, someone who hears
For you I've waited all these years
For you I'd wait 'til kingdom come
Until my day, my day is done
Just say you'll come and set me free
Say you'll wait, you'll wait for me
In your tears and in your blood
In your fire and in your flood
I hear you laugh, I hear you sing
I wouldn't change a single thing
The wheels just keep on turning
The drummers begin to drum
Don't know which way I'm going
I don't know what I've become
For you I'd wait 'til kingdom come (Ah-ah)

So say you'll come and set me free (Aah)
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me (Aah)
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me (Aah)
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me (Aah)

strong hand (just one miracle)
[Go to Song Page]
He was a tall man
Raised up on a field out picking cotton
In a hard land
Where the ground was poor and the wood was rotten
But when he saw her
All those bad times were forgotten
And he believed, yes he believed
She was a strong hand
A good sister and a daughter
Looking for one man
To love the way that her mama taught her
And when she saw him
She thanked God for what he'd brought her
She believed, yes she believed
And it's a miracle
How one soul finds another
Just one miracle
Is all it took, my brother
And I have seen them
As they walked this world together
And I believe, yes I believe
It's a sad thing
When one must leave the other
And fly up where the voices ringing out
With all the multitudes that gather
And but for a short while
Down here no song ever sounded sweeter
And we believed, yes we believed
For it's a miracle
How one soul finds another
Just one miracle
Is all it took, my brother
And I will see them
Someday they'll walk again together
And I believe, I believe
Yes I believe, I believe
Yes I believe, I believe
He was a tall man
Raised up on a field out picking cotton
In a hard land
Where the ground was poor and the wood was rotten
But when he saw her
All those bad times were forgotten
And he believed, yes he believed
She was a strong hand
A good sister and a daughter
Looking for one man
To love the way that her mama taught her
And when she saw him
She thanked God for what he'd brought her
She believed, yes she believed
And it's a miracle
How one soul finds another
Just one miracle
Is all it took, my brother
And I have seen them
As they walked this world together
And I believe, yes I believe
It's a sad thing
When one must leave the other
And fly up where the voices ringing out
With all the multitudes that gather
And but for a short while
Down here no song ever sounded sweeter
And we believed, yes we believed
For it's a miracle
How one soul finds another
Just one miracle
Is all it took, my brother
And I will see them
Someday they'll walk again together
And I believe, I believe
Yes I believe, I believe
Yes I believe, I believe
let it all fall down
