Denomination Blues, Part 2 Songtext
von Washington Phillips

You′re fighting each other and think you're doing well
And the sinnin′ 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

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

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


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

That kind of a man, he's hard to convince
A man can′t preach then, unless'n he sin
And that′s all, now, I tell you that's all
But you better have Jesus, now, I'll tell you that′s all

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

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


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
