Well, me and Jesus we got our own things going
Me and Jesus, we got it all worked out
Me and Jesus, we got our own things going
We don't need anybody to tell us what it's all about

Well, I know a man that once was a sinner
I know a man that once was a drunk
I know a man that once was a loser
He went out one day and made an altar right out of a stump

Me and Jesus we got our own things going
Me and Jesus, we got it all worked out
Me and Jesus, we got our own things going
We don't need anybody to tell us what it's all about

Jesus brought me through all of my troubles
Jesus brought me through all of my trials
Yes, Jesus brought me through all of my heartaches
And I know why my Jesus ain't gonna forsake me now

'Cause me and Jesus we got our own things going
Me and Jesus, we got it all worked out
Me and Jesus, we got our own things going
We don't need anybody to tell us what it's all about

We can't afford any fancy preaching
We can't afford any fancy church
We can't afford any fancy singing
But you know Jesus got a lotta poor people out doing his work
Me and Jesus we got our own things going
Me and Jesus, we got it all worked out
Me and Jesus, we got our own things going
We don't need anybody to tell us what it's all about

Me and Jesus we got our own things going
Me and Jesus, we got it all worked out
Me and Jesus, we got our own things going
We don't need anybody to tell us what it's all about
