Well, me and Jesus got our own thing goin'

Me and Jesus got it all worked out

Me and Jesus got our own thing goin'

We don't need anybody to tell us what it's all about

I know a man who once was a sinner

I know a man that once was a drunk

I know a man once was a looser

But he went out one day and made an alter out of a stump

Me and Jesus got our own thing goin'

Me and Jesus got it all worked out

Me and Jesus got our own thing goin'

We don't need anybody to tell us what it's all about

Jesus brought me through all of my troubles

Jesus brought me through all of my trials

Jesus brought me through all of my heartaches

And I know that Jesus ain't gonna forsake me now

Me and Jesus got our own thing goin'

Me and Jesus got it all worked out

Me and Jesus got our own thing goin'

We don't need anybody to tell us what it's all about

We can't afford any fancy preachin'

We can't afford any fancy church

We can't afford any fancy singin'

But you know Jesus got a lot of poor people out doin' his work

Me and Jesus got our own thing goin'

Me and Jesus got it all worked out

Me and Jesus got our own thing goin'

We don't need anybody to tell us what it's all about

Me and Jesus got our own thing goin'

Me and Jesus got it all worked out

Me and Jesus got our own thing goin'
