If it had not've been for Jesus I would not have been here tonight But He has fully saved me And He washed my black heart white One night I went to the meetin' Just to hear them sing and shout But there I got salvation And I found their secrets out If it had not've been for Jesus I would not have been here tonight But He has fully 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've been for Jesus I would not have been here tonight But He has fully saved me And He washed my black heart white Oh, once I was a deep-down sinner Just as wild as I could be I was on my way to destruction And the deep-down misery If it had not've been for Jesus I would not have been here tonight But He has fully saved me And He washed my black heart white One night I went to the meetin' Just to hear them sing and shout But there I got salvation And I found their secrets out If it had not've been for Jesus I would not have been here tonight But He has fully saved me And He washed my black heart white
