Wonder, Stevie - Jesus Children Of America Lyrics

“Still pursuing happiness...”

3rd eye experience listening now!💜✨🏆

When I first heard this some 45 years ago....I couldn't get enough of it then.....and even now, if I play it one time....I end up playing it at least 10 more times!

The good ole days dancing with all my kinfolks... and pursuit of happiness both brung me here 😘💕

Stevie went gospel recording this song! Go ahead Stevie!

Dear chris, YOU SUCKS....

Stevie Wonder ! To Ever Wonder What Hé Create Is To Be Éducate ! GOD Created POP music useing A Blind Man To Do It ! Yes Michael Jackson Is Thé KING OF POP MUSIC " Yet To Wonder

Another prophesy from Stevie,that came to fruition.

This is one heavy jam. Praise Jesus.

Transcendental meditation, speaks of inner preservation...

It's a killer line

@David Rothman indeed, totally agree! Thank you Stevie Wonder! 😘

Jesus is not the Son of God. He was the Messenger of Allah. It is mentioned in the Bible. Jesus also said that the Spirit of truth will come to me when he comes, his name will be Mohammed. The Bible mentions it

The ending groove is do damn funky

There are millions of people across the world today who only know Stevie Wonder for I just called to say I love you and Happy birthday. They need our help.

You know that! Get out there convince one person to dig deeper into Stevie's stuff and go from there. I'll do the same. It's a mission! :)

When something bad happens if I hear this my soul can contain any kind of sad things

Oooh si . tres bien.

The man himself...Mr. Wonder, A true genius...I grew up listening to Stevie Wonder since the 70’s His voice and music is phenomenal. #BringRealMusicBack

Felicia Edwards I totally agree...My generation needs to listen to these words

Church!

I bought Innervisions about the same time I bought What’s Going On. The critics glorified Marvin’s but said Stevie’s was disjointed. I don’t think so. This is my favorite. When I here it on The Pursuit of Happyness. I decided to play it again. I have been playing it everyday since. Be Be Winans has a cover of it. Check it out ❤️

I am no believer in Jesus, but this song is a smoker!

You better tell your story fast..Yes!

Violet Bizzell Fair. And if you lie it will come to pain

Am i the only one that hear Little similarities between this song and American woman by Lenny Kravitz?

American Woman by the Guess Who?

Steve's '70's music (& into the early '80's) was genius.

And if you lie...

Preach Stevie !!!!! You better tell your story fast !!!!!! Holy Roller !!!! If you lie!!!!

Tell your story fast, if you lie it will come to pass. This is a prophetic line, that has spiritual and political implications.
Stevie is saying something spiritual in this song about how we make ourselves through our aspirations. If we have an honest prayer life it can be a deep blessing that will guide us to our higher more godly self. But what happens if we are not honest in our prayer life? I think the self-distortion that happens through an inauthentic prayer life is analogous to what happens in an inauthentic political life. If our politics is full of deceptive rhetoric, then the social world will be distorted. America has been telling lies in the false rhetoric that has developed to justify racial inequalities. We now recognize the lying rhetoric of slavery. We also recognize the lying rhetoric in Jim Crow segregation, but we have to come to terms with the more recent rhetorical lies of Mass Incarceration. Those lies have become a sick reality.
This is exactly the time when Nixon declared the War on Drugs, with the support of the 'Silent Majority'. The War on Drugs was a political gimmick for Nixon to marshal opposition to to "the hippies" and "the blacks". So, Nixon criminalized the youth culture via its linkage to psychedelia and more specifically, the weakened the spirit of collaboration that was possible on the left. The hippies became yuppies and their lives are peppered with drug use, but it does not define them. The blacks faced a real drug war funded by Reagan and developed by an unacknowledged racism that was comfortable seeing all black people as criminal. This criminal label is avoidable, but it is an unjust label that negatively conditions black lives. It is largely sustained by the propagation of an inner vision of black people as criminal. Black people were struggling against a heroin epidemic at the time of this album and Stevie addresses that. No, people are not happy sticking a needle in their vain, but it took white people to suffer this very epidemic before we focused on the suffering person and not the criminal act.

Blah blah blah, mote afro centric bull shit, you people sure thrive off being victims lol

Glen Mendoza Lmao little do you know you’re the type of person that reinforces their “Afrocentric bullshit” point with sentences like that, so quick to defend the elites that divided up the American working class by race from the beginnings of the colonies across the Americas.

Hence the new opioid epidemic when blacks was on crack they didnt call it an epidemic. It was a war on drugs aka a war on blacks. I dont fault whites they can be victims of racism.also. You see this word is under Satanic control he has all his puppet masters and handlers in place. . B ut the son will set up His Gov't real soon

The Roots of Funk...Keyboard/synthesizer bass track. This was released in '73. It sounds similar to some bass tracks in the 2000's. The "Innervisions" of Stevie Wonder, radio station owner (KJLH) in Los Angeles!

Oooooh I remember the 1st time I heard this.....this is a VERY SERIOUS COMMENTARY ON RELIGION... the MAN JUST MOVED ME DEEPLY WITH THIS....LOVE STEVIE...

JESUS, ME LIMPE DE TODA A PODRIDÃO, ME PURIFICA MEU PAI, SOU PECADOR CONFESSO E NECESSITO DO SENHOR O TEMPO TODO EM MINHA VIDA MEU PAI !!!!!

TE AMO ABA PAI, TE AMO JESUS, ME DÊ O SEU CORAÇÃO, O SEU CARÁTER, O SEU AMOR !!!

Pursuit of happiness brought me here

LO BUSQUE Y LO BUSQUE Y LO ENCONTRÉ!!!! lo escuche en la película "en busca de la felicidad" con will smith, Y ME DIJE,,," ESA VOZ...ESA CANCIÓN ESTA RE.BUENA !!!!! " ... solo bastaron 10 segundos para que mew guste, que grande stevie !!! =D

This song gives me goosebumps...it's so soulful.

It's because it magnifies Jesus!!

My first time hearing this AMAZING

It's obvious in this song that God is working through Stevie to deliver this message. God be with you, Mr. Wonder!

Alyn08 he's not singing about God, listen to the song

@LivingEidolon When you're blinded by an illusion of 'God', you see it everywhere.

" Are you standing for everything ya talk about"...F-ing classic. Too many hypercrits and scammers...give me all Stevies music and some Grey Goose im done!

wts grey goose

Amen> Are you standing for everything ya talk about"...F-ing classic. Cheers, raising my glass of Titos to you sir!

The Pursuit of Happyness brought me here

ME TOO 🤩🤩🤩

Same here!!

Me too. I forgotten this song.

This man of God sees the light. ,beyond color

And he's blind! That's why he can see

Such a raw classic American feel to this song. Perfect in every way; that bassline and social commentary. We the people

Stevie's vocals are unreal!

And the lyrics, Wow!

Jesus is not the Son of God. He was the Messenger of Allah. It is mentioned in the Bible. Jesus also said that the Spirit of truth will come to me when he comes, his name will be Mohammed. The Bible mentions it

and if You LIE...(WIRETAPS, RIGHT TRUMP?) IT'S GONNA COME TO PASS (FIN INVESTING MONDAY)..AMEN STEVIE...TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION

This is one of Stevie's most spiritual songs. Cats sleep on how deep this joint is.

Arthur Swanson ........ Because they don't understand, smh.

JR. High School, A real BMF

This came out when I was a poor black child in Lansing Michigan, I was 14 years old, and I thought that GOD had spoke to me, Stevie is a BMF... for you from the 70's

He is straight from God bro.

Love you and feel you Brother Steven.I'm a lil po raggedy boy from Chicago

This brother's 3rd eye is God Like.Love you Stevie!

Sweet tune. Soulive does a cool-ass instrumental version too.

Raw deep soul.

This should have been played intro and altro at the debate last night...smh

mr wonder

Stevie is actually an occultist which is how he was able to write his music. Stevie channeled the Devil & so did every music star that ever made it big. Actors, politicians, billionaires, artists, huge athletes......they all made their Faustian deals with the Devil

What ? So because he's good, he's working with the devil ?

Not just Stevie, all music "stars" , Frank Sinatra, Led Zeppelin, Garth Brooks, the list goes on. Have you never heard of Faust ?

LordGandor3 Wake up to yourself

is justin beiber working with the devil too or harvey weinstein coz they both have made big it in life

Occultists don't write and/or sing songs that relate to Christ; especially if the message is a positive one. Don't be a conspiracy theorist!

Six idiots lost and can't find their way home. How can anyone dislike this song? To each his own I guess.

Jesus is not the Son of God. He was the Messenger of Allah. It is mentioned in the Bible. Jesus also said that the Spirit of truth will come to me when he comes, his name will be Mohammed. The Bible mentions it

@Mohammed bin abdullah islam Yahushua aka Jesus is the only begotten son of Yahuweh. It's a terrible thing to believe a lie sir .Did you not hear the words in this song. "Dont lie cause if you lie will come to pass. This is what you want a lie ?

the world needs this. it's not goin well for us right now

+MrCancer1965 тнere нaѕ alwayѕ вeen cнaoѕ ιn тнe world noтнιng new

@Lia Mikeska True That. There was chaos back in the 70s and 80s when I was growing up. But nothing on the level that we have now.  

@MrCancer1965 acтυally ιт waѕ worѕe вacĸ тнen тнere waѕ no ѕecυrιтy тнere waѕ no level тo нold on тo.

Things where much worse back then. And lets not even talk about the 60s. Things today are much better. The internet just makes it seem a lot worse because we know every little detail about everything and every news article is negative.

Martin Moreno so true

I am incredibly grateful that my Mom brought me up on this music that still feeds my soul.

My older brother did the same 4 me. Soul!

Great Bass-line :P and Great Song!!!!

Great bass line not by a bass guitar- "Synth-keyboard"

Stevie Wonders left hand on bass

The hidden gem on an album full of diamonds.

Jesus is not the Son of God. He was the Messenger of Allah. It is mentioned in the Bible. Jesus also said that the Spirit of truth will come to me when he comes, his name will be Mohammed. The Bible mentions it

@Dewitt Brown Jesus is not the Son of God. He was the Messenger of Allah. It is mentioned in the Bible. Jesus also said that the Spirit of truth will come to me when he comes, his name will be Mohammed. The Bible mentions it

@Mohammed bin abdullah islam Please tell me what proof do u have that Jesus Christ is NOT the Son of God and then we can talk. Otherwise, stay away from my channel!!!

@Mohammed bin abdullah islam What Bible are you reading???

@xon islam nobody gives a shit

It's funny how it seems that we haven't moved pass the words of this song. In fact we haven't moved pass any of the soulful "ecology" songs of that era. We are stuck in that same spot just like a needle that can't get pass the scratch in a record.

+Owetta Robinson You ain't lying

Owetta Robinson You ain't neva lied. its sad...this election is even more dismal

Owetta Robinson ...... That is a damn good analogy!!

Tru dat

It's because we WANNA be right here! Some of this new music is garbage, stuff that you don't remember. This is why the lyrics still speak to a new Generation that is searching for substance in music. Nothing negative here my friends!!!!!

AMERICA you better tell your story fast and if you lie it will come to past!!!!

Keeps me in check

Keeps me in check

classic. Tell ur story fast people!!

Listen to the words

This is true"You better tell your story fast.For it will come to past" This song is truly deep no matter how old it is it's timeless.

Takes me back to my childhood days...Thank you! I thump this baby in my ride with ALL of the windows down!

the shit...period

LOVE THIS SONG

"You better tell your story fast..." Deep!

+Jaysyn Ashanti We are all brothers & sisters. Satan's plan is to divide us by race, religion & country then start WW3 & hatred will do the rest. Jesus said to love your enemies. Don't buy into the hate ! The Government plants Agent Provocateurs at peaceful rallies & they are the ones provoking racial unrest & rioting. The US government is run by a shadow government that controls the world & there plan is to kill off 90% with famine, disease, WW3 & FEMA death camps. My friend worked at NASA on the HAARP weather control project. Climate change is a lie. HAARP frequency is used to create hurricanes, tornadoes, drought, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis & earthquakes. These are not just theories they are FACTS ! We are living in End Times. The Bible says the Great Tribulation will be like no other time in the history of the world so expect to see things you have never seen before. They've created human/animal hybrids. They have bones from Nephilim giants who existed before the Flood so they have the DNA to make new ones. Obama is a clone & so are many other public personalities. Hollywood & the Entertainment industry are all Illuminati soul sellers. To become famous you sell your soul. The Devil is a very powerful super natural force who gives these people talent & ability. Many actors, athletes & all billionaires sold their souls to the Devil. If you don't believe the Devil exists then you are not paying attention

+LordGandor3 ISIS & Al Qaeda are creations of the CIA & are staffed with military mercenaries from the US, UK, Israel & Saudi Arabia. How else do you think they became so powerful ??? I recently spoke to a former  NFL player who told me what I already knew. Pro sports & college sports are rigged. Any thing that is gambled on is rigged. The last 2 Super Bowls were so obviously rigged you would have to be blind not to see it

LordGandor3 Obama is out. yet the whiteness begin again. we might as well just let it go, and just accept the fact that we are tucked in the ass deep.

*fucked

SHUT THE FUCK UP WITH A NAME LIKE YOURS YOU MUST BE A FAKE ASS MUSLIM As-salāmu ʿalaykum TO THAT BITCH

stevies best album if you like a look into his soul

The Persuit Of Happiness Brought Me Here! (L)

Same here!! :)
