Denomination Blues Pt. 2 by Washington Phillips Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1927

[Verse 1]
You're fighting each other and think you're doing well
And the sinners on the outside, goin' to hell
And that's all, now, I tell you that's all
But you better have Jesus, now, I tell you that's all

[Verse 2]
Now the preachers is preaching and think they're doing well
And all they want is your money and you can go to hell
And that's all, now, I tell you that's all
But you better have Jesus, now, I tell you that's all

[Verse 3]
There's another class of preachers is high in speech
They had to go to college to learn how to preach
And that's all, now, I tell you that's all
But you better have Jesus, now, I tell you that's all

[Verse 4]
But you can go to the college and you can go to the school
But if you ain't got Jesus, you a educated fool
And that's all, now, I tell you that's all
But you better have Jesus, now, I tell you that's all
[Verse 5]
That kind of a man, he's hard to convince
A man can't preach, son, unless'n he's sinned
And that's all, now, I tell you that's all
But you better have Jesus, now, I'll tell you that's all

[Verse 6]
When people jump from church to church
You know the conversion don't amount to much
And that's all, now, I'll tell you that's all
But you better have Jesus, now, I tell you that's all

[Verse 7]
When Jesus came in at Dividing Day
Gonna call the sheep, turn and drive the goats away
And that'll be all, now, I tell you that's all
But you better have Jesus, now, I'll tell you that's all

[Verse 8]
It's right to stand together, it's wrong to stand apart
'Cause none's gonna enter but the pure in heart
And that's all, now, I tell you that's all
But you better have Jesus, now, I'll tell you that's all
