Lyrics Curtis Mayfield

Curtis Mayfield

Jesus

Maybe the words I say is just another way to pray

I don’t know

Don’t think that I’m any saint ’cause

I can’t do nothin’ for you

I only asked of you just as I got to do myself

Look into your inner self only you know how to be

free

If you wanna grin let it smile

Feel a little happy go on and dance a while

Can nobody play down God’s lovin’ child

‘Cause when the spirit hits you you got to move

And just as He made us one of many

Then aren’t the many of us maybe only one

surely can you be the rising sun but

The depth of night the light for sight

Sort of sets the moral standards of soul

Gives you the strength to pay the price of life

And rewards you with a bit of fulfillment

The definition of true He is more real than you

isn’t he?

Almighty Doctor must have been a heavenly man

JESUS!

Lot of inspiration all over this land Jesus

In spite of your fears you can shed happy tears

Jesus!

Don’t care what you call Him none can befall Him

Hear me say Amen! Amen! Amen! Hear me say

Amen!

Now stand up and clap your hands

Amen! Amen! Amen! Ah! Ah! Ah!

Travelin’ Soul the way the story goes

We all know He was crucified

But what He gave us never will die!

He never had a hustlin’ mind

Doin’ crime wastin’ time!

Drinkin’ that wine

Drinkin’ and drinkin’ and drinkin’ and drinkin’

You need courage in time of fear

Because of undyin’ news you hear

Talk about Jesus talk about Jesus

Strength in time of new temptation

Don’t want to lose a love relation

Talk about Jesus talk about Jesus

He never had a hustlin’ mind

Doin’ crime wastin’ time

Drinkin’ that wine

Drinkin’ and drinkin’ and drinkin’ and drinkin’

and drinkin’ and drinkin’

The world I see before me is tryin’ to make me a slave

Jesus!

Than to see many children hungry

I’d rather go to my grave Jesus!

The lovin’ way of life

Has terribly been arranged Jesus!

Something’s mighty mighty wrong

And it seems awful strange

Just like a back up gear there are those in fear

Of falling near we who are already here

Look-a-here, look-a-here, look-a-here

You need courage in time of fear

Because of undyin’ news you hear

Talk about Jesus talk about Jesus

Strength in time of new relations

Don’t want to lose a love relation

Talk about Jesus talk about Jesus

He never had a hustlin’ mind

Doin’ crime wastin’ time

Drinkin’ that wine

Drinkin’ and drinkin’ and drinkin’ and drinkin’

and a-

Talk about Jesus

Talk about Jesus
