Curtis Mayfield - Jesus Lyrics
Maybe the words I say is just another way to pray I don't know
Don't think that I'm any saint 'cause I can't do nothin' for you
I only asked of you just as I got to do myself
Look into your inner self only you know how to be free
If you wanna grin let it smile
Can nobody play down God's lovin' child
'Cause when the spirit hits you you got to move
And just as He made us one of many
Then aren't the many of us maybe only one
surely can you be the rising sun but
The depth of night the light for sight
Sort of sets the moral standards of soul
Gives you the strength to pay the price of life
And rewards you with a bit of fulfillment
The definition of true He is more real than you isn't he?
Almighty Doctor must have been a heavenly man Jesus!
Lot of inspiration all over this land Jesus
In spite of your fears you can shed happy tears Jesus!
Don't care what you call Him none can befall Him
Hear me say Amen! Amen! Amen! Hear me say Amen!
Now stand up and clap your hands
Amen! Amen! Amen! Ah! Ah! Ah!
Travelin' soul the way the story goes
We all know He was crucified
But what He gave us never will die!
He never had a hustlin' mind
Doin' crime wastin' time!
Drinkin' that wine
Drinkin' and drinkin' and drinkin' and drinkin'
You need courage in time of fear
Because of undyin' news you hear
Talk about Jesus talk about Jesus
Strength in time of new temptation
Don't want to lose a love relation
Talk about Jesus talk about Jesus
He never had a hustlin' mind
Doin' crime wastin' time
Drinkin' that wine
Drinkin' and drinkin' and drinkin' and drinkin' and drinkin' and drinkin'
The world I see before me is tryin' to make me a slave Jesus!
Than to see many children hungry
I'd rather go to my grave Jesus!
The lovin' way of life
Has terribly been arranged Jesus!
Something's mighty mighty wrong
And it seems awful strange
Just like a back up gear there are those in fear
Of falling near we who are already here
Look-a-here, look-a-here, look-a-here
You need courage in time of fear
Because of undyin' news you hear
Talk about Jesus talk about Jesus
Strength in time of new relations
Don't want to lose a love relation
Talk about Jesus talk about Jesus
He never had a hustlin' mind
Doin' crime wastin' time
Drinkin' that wine
Drinkin' and drinkin' and drinkin' and drinkin' and a...

I am a pastor and heard many of Curtis songs. However, I never heard this until before.
ITS awesome...ID like to hear someone sing this at Church 2day with a really good band..Talk ABOUT JESUS..
Curt sung the song, right chere.
If only Curtis had read Dueteronomy 28. It would have been easy for him to see who fits those curses from vs 15 onward. The scriptures are easy to identify the nationalities of the world in which we now live in.
ManOfTheMostHigh if only that 144,000 would stand now

I don't know if this brother is still alive or nothing but I truly believe his soul is saved! He used his God given gift to glorify the Son...Our Saviour! -(whatever name you choose to call him)
Curtis Mayfield (1942-1999) (Perhaps) one of the most prolific singer-songwriters-musicians of this or any generation. Thanks for your interest. RIP Curtis Mayfield. Blessings
Curtis Mayfield was indeed saved. His music is one of a kind. RIP brother.....your songs are still reaching souls with Jesus's saving grace!

Thumb downers are total idiots,....
Saying such things doesn't make you better. Respect their choices or at least ignore them and enjoy more important things coming from your speakers.
Spoken like a true believer in humanity!
a good story wit soul...
A true musical genius in every musical arena. The Late Curtis Mayfield will always remembered for singing from his personal experiences. From the early 60s until his death, he was one to listen to and learn, especially the song "Choice of Colors" - "If you had a choice of colors, which one would you choose my brother, If there was no day or night, which one would you choose to be right?"
Amen. God is King...
@Patricia Peoples With God there's no place for depression, only happy feelin :)

But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:5

You got too move like the record says Amen, Amen Jesus is real !
Real nigga

Say my friends I was able to download the album "new world order" off of spotify a very good music site.
Mayfield was a real deep brother; what most folk nevercomprehend is that you have to have balance, after all Jesus was both God and man!
@Cursed8Blessed i tried to upload some more curtis, but youtube does not allow them to be published because of copyrights.. yes, he has recorded that song on 1997's (last album) titled "new world order". very nice, truthful song indeed
this is a true song
Amen we are now in the computer age.. All that is old goes away. Let the New began . Praise The Lord. Bless HIM in his holy name. Loving Life believing in the Truth. A Men
Thank you Curtis May Field for your Real life Struggle. Helps to know you are not the only one going threw life struggling ALONE
