Why don't you try Jesus
What 'cha got to lose
Trade in a life that's lonely
Trade in a song of blues
Why don't you try Jesus
You know the odds are stacked
'Cause if you don't like the winning side
I'm sure the devil will take you back

There's grumbling and complaining
About everywhere you turn
Somebody's not very happy
Not getting what they deserve
None of us are perfect
And most ain't even close
But I've got news to tell you
I've got a real good reason to boast

So, why don't you try Jesus
What 'cha got to lose
Trade in a life that's lonely
Trade in a song of blues
Why don't you try Jesus
You know the odds are stacked
'Cause if you don't like the winning side
I'm sure the devil will take you back
That say it's shallow people
Not willing to take a chance
They say God can't do nothing
To change their circumstance
But I'm gonna say it one more time
I love the choice I made
When I gave it all to Jesus
I gave this world away

So, why don't you try Jesus
What 'cha got to lose
Trade in a life that's lonely
Trade in a song of blues
Why don't you try Jesus
You know the odds are stacked
'Cause if you don't like the winning side
I'm sure the devil will take you back

Oh, no, if you don't like the winning side
I'm sure the devil will take you back
