Washington Phillips
G – C – D

G I wanna tell you people its a natral fact
Evry man dont understand the Bible alike
And thats C all, I tell you thats G all
Cause you better have D Jesus
I tell you thats G all

Well, the denominations have the right to fight
They ought go on and treat each other right
And thats all, I tell you thats all
Cause you better have Jesus
I tell you thats all

Its right to stand together, wrong to stand apart
When none will enter heaven but the pure at heart
And thats all, Ill tell you thats all
Cause you better have Jesus
Ill tell you thats all

Well, the primitive Baptists they believe
That you cant go to heaven less you wash your feet
And thats all, Ill tell you thats all
Cause you better have Jesus
I tell you thats all

Well, the African Methodists, they believe the same
Cause they know demonination aint a thing but a name
And thats all, Ill tell you thats all
Cause you better have Jesus
I tell you thats all

Well, people that jump from church to church
You can bet their conversion dont amount too much
And thats all, Ill tell you thats all
Cause you better have Jesus
I tell you thats all

Well, you can to your college, you can go to your school
But if you aint got Jesus, youse you are an educated fool
And thats all, Ill tell you thats all
Cause you better have Jesus
I tell you thats all
