If It Had Not Been for Jesus

If it had not've been for Jesus

I would not have been here tonight

But He has fully saved me

And He washed my black heart white

One night I went to the meetin'

Just to hear them sing and shout

But there I got salvation

And I found their secrets out

If it had not've been for Jesus

I would not have been here tonight

But He has fully saved me

And He washed my black heart white

Oh listen to me oh sinner

I'll tell you just what to do

Surrender all to Jesus

And He will save you too

If it had not've been for Jesus

I would not have been here tonight

But He has fully saved me

And He washed my black heart white

Oh once I was a deep down sinner

Just as wild as I could be

I was on my way to destruction

And the deep down misery

If it had not've been for Jesus

I would not have been here tonight

But He has fully saved me

And He washed my black heart white

One night I went to the meetin'

Just to hear them sing and shout

But there I got salvation

And I found their secrets out

If it had not've been for Jesus

I would not have been here tonight

But He has fully saved me

And He washed my black heart white
