If It Had Not Been for Jesus - Blind Willie Johnson

If it had not been for Jesus

I would not have been here tonight

But here He has saved me

And he washed my black heart white

One night I went to the meeting

Just to hear them sing and show

But then I got salvation

And I found

If it had not been for Jesus

I would not have been here tonight

But He has saved me

And he washed my black heart white

Oh, listen to me, oh, sinner

I’ll tell you just what to do

Surrender all to Jesus

And He will save you too

If it had not been for Jesus

I would not have been here tonight

But He has saved me

And he washed my black heart white

Oh once I was a deep down sinner

Just as vile as I could be

I was on my way to destruction

And a deep down misery

If it had not been for Jesus

I would not have been here tonight

But He has saved me

And he washed my black heart white

One night I went to the meeting

Just to hear them sing and show

But then I got salvation

And I found

If it had not been for Jesus

I would not have been here tonight

But He has saved me

And he washed my black heart white
