If It Had Not Been for Jesus Songtext

von Blind Willie Johnson

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
