If It Had Not Been for Jesus
[Chorus: Blind Willie Johnson & Willie B. Harris]
If it had not been for Jesus
I would not have been here tonight
But here He has fully saved me
And he washed my black heart white

[Verse 1: Willie B. Harris]
One night I went to the meeting
Just to hear them sing and show
But then I got salvation
And I found [that seat with God?]

[Chorus: Blind Willie Johnson & Willie B. Harris]
If it had not been for Jesus
I would not have been here tonight
But He has fully saved me
And he washed my black heart white

[Verse 2: Willie B. Harris]
Oh, listen to me, oh, sinner
I'll tell you just what to do
Surrender all to Jesus
And He will save you too

[Chorus: Blind Willie Johnson & Willie B. Harris]
If it had not been for Jesus
I would not have been here tonight
But He has fully saved me
And he washed my black heart white
[Verse 3: Willie B. Harris]
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

[Chorus: Blind Willie Johnson & Willie B. Harris]
If it had not been for Jesus
I would not have been here tonight
But He has fully saved me
And he washed my black heart white

[Verse 4: Willie B. Harris]
One night I went to the meeting
Just to hear them sing and show
But then I got salvation
And I found [that seat with God?]

[Chorus: Blind Willie Johnson & Willie B. Harris]
If it had not been for Jesus
I would not have been here tonight
But He has fully saved me
And he washed my black heart white
