You Can't Beat Jesus Christ |
| He was born to be known as everybody’s brother |
| He is the Father, Son, and Mary is His mother |
| He is a 'scuse my slanguage |
| Well, a compound country kinda guy |
| (Yes, He is) |
| Ain’t no way to get around it |
| You just can’t beat Jesus Christ |
| (No, you can’t) |
| I used to crank and drank |
| Until my back was to the floor |
| I’d take it to the limit |
| Then I’d try to get some more |
| Yeah, when it came to gamblin' |
| Well, the Lord God knows I’d roll them dice |
| (Yes, I would) |
| Ain’t no reason to deny it |
| I have been saved by Jesus Christ |
| Praise the Lord |
| Well, even though I am a sinner |
| He will always be my friend |
| He starts in the middle |
| And He does not have an end |
| And when my soul was held for ransom |
| Well, He is the one that paid the price |
| There ain’t no two ways about it |
| I owe it all to Jesus Christ |
| You know I do |
| He was born to be known as everybody’s brother |
| He is the Father, Son, and Mary is His mother |
| He is a 'scuse my slanguage |
| Well, a compound country kinda guy |
| Ain’t no way to get around it |
| You just can’t beat Jesus Christ |
| I mean it |
| (Hallelujah) |
