I want Jesus now in everything I do I put Jesus first
Well yes my love is true unto Jah I bow
He give I man a the bread and the living water I thirst
Well with Jesus first what are they going to do to stop me
And with Jesus first voodoo workers and Satan must drop me
Gimme the Jesus, Jesus, gimme the forgiven sin
Gimme the Jesus, Jesus, gimme the Spirit within
Gimme the Jesus, Jesus, gimme the eternal life
Gimme the Jesus, Jesus, I want Jesus Christ
Chorus
Well with Jesus first I am the sheep of His hand He shall hold me
Well with Jesus first Satan he can't stronghold me
Gimme the Jesus, Jesus, gimme the Son O Man
Gimme the Jesus, Jesus, gimme the Holy One
Gimme the Jesus, Jesus, gimme Father's Son
Gimme the Jesus, Jesus, I want to go to Zion
Chorus
With God in your life you are going to rearrange
Many big things are going to change
Even though your friends and enemies might think that you are strange
It is for them that the Lamb was slain
Well if you want to get to the Father you must go through Him
And if you want to be forgiven you must go through Him
If you want to live forever you must go through Him
Eternally in heaven you must go through Him
Chorus
Repeat first verse
Chorus
Stand back! Evil spirits look out
Come off of the borderline and move out
Stand back! Evil spirits look out
Come off of the borderline, you must clear out!
Clear the way, clear the way, don't bother messing with the minds of all the D.J.s
Clear the way, clear the way, God runs things here today!
Chorus
Repeat second verse
