I Told Jesus

I told Jesus be alright if you change my name

I told Jesus be alright if you changed, changed my name

I told Jesus be alright be alright be alright

I told Jesus be alright if you change my name

If you change my name

Mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm

Then he told me, he said the world will turn away from you child if I change your name

Yes he told me, said the world will turn away from you child, if I change your name

I told Jesus be alright be alright be alright

I told Jesus be alright if you change my name

Mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm

Then he told me, he said your father won't know you child, if I change your name

Yes he told me, said your mother won't know you child, child if I change your name

But I told Jesus, I said it would be alright, be alright, be alright

If my father turns away now, and my mother turn away now

Yes my brother, my baby sister, turn away, turn away

I told Jesus be alright, if you change my name, change my name, change my name

If he change ... my ... name
