One More Song for Jesus

(Tom T. Hall)



We've traveled this world over in our day and in our time

We've heard some songs that made no sense and some that did not rhyme

We may never sing another song there ain't no way to know

But let's have one more song for Jesus 'fore we go.



Oh, we may not live the letter of the law and live that truth

Judged and criticized for almost everything we do

But they cannot stop our singing though they're holier than we

Let's have one more song for Jesus if you please.

They say they're gonna burn us in a not too distant day

I don't think we should buy that cause it just ain't Jesus' way

Now they say he's mean and vicious and there's nothing that he won't do

They must know a different Jesus than we do.



Oh, we may not live the letter of the law and live that truth

Judged and criticized for almost everything we do

But they cannot stop our singing though they're holier than we

Let's have one more song for Jesus if you please.

Some atheist may tell us he was just another man

Some say that he's a superstar and they're his biggest fans

He means so much to so many that I think you will agree

We oughta have one more song for Jesus if you please.



Oh, we may not live the letter of the law and be that true

Judged and criticized for almost everything we do

But they cannot stop our singing though they're holier than we

So let's have one more song for Jesus if you please.



We oughta have one more song for Jesus if you please

Let's have one more song for Jesus on our knees

Let's have one more song for Jesus if you please...
