Capo 4
* = palm muted
[Verse 1]
Just three chords and a melody
Won t leave you a living legacy
Without Jesus.....Oh
Just four songs and a parable
Might leave you something terrible
Just five bucks in an offering
Won t buy you some prosperity
Just a sixth sense of morality
*
Won t get you out of your depravity
Without Jesus, oh, without Jesus
[Instrumental]
(x2)
[Verse 2]
You could memorize become a Mennonite
You could speak in tongues and raise the dead to life
You could build a big church call it ministry
Teach em all they need to know to run a family
You could sell it all be burned at the stake
*
But what in the world have you to ever gain
Without Jesus, oh, without Jesus
[Instrumental]
(x2)
[Verse 3]
If all I ever get out of laying my life down
Is thorns in the shape of a crown
On the brow of a man from Nazareth
And if all I get is what Jesus did,
And said, and put within my heart
Then I get it all
(build)
I have it all
Oh, I have it all
Everything is mine
Oh, I have it all
I have it all
Just three chords and a melody
Won t leave you a living legacy
Without Jesus
