Story behind the song
This was meant to be the opener on the amazing album and awesome concerts that formed in my imagination. I was young. I was impressionable. And I was crazy about my new found Christian faith. I wanted the whole world to share in it!
Lyrics
Jesus Rules OK?
(Adrian J Pratt 1974)
Did you know that there's a way
To find peace when you're in pain?
A way to see the sunshine through the rain.
So if you're feeling grumpy,
Sad, fed up, lonely or blue,
Then turn to my friend Jesus
And He will pull you through
It ain't no secret, no
The whole wide world should know
Jesus Christ died to save us
All that time ago.
So if you're really listening,
And if you really feel in need.
Then turn to my friend Jesus
And from your cares be free
Maybe you feel that this life
Is some kind of bad joke
And that it's all closing in on you
And making you choke
Well don't listen to Satan
He's trying to get you to follow his way
Just dedicate yourself to Jesus every day
Now would I really be singing this song
If I didn't know that it was true
Now would I bother to tell you all of these things
If Jesus didn't really love you?
But He does... so...
If you have ears to hear then listen
If you have eyes then see
That if you sing your song for Jesus
You'll be singing on to eternity!
Woo. Maybe you think that
I've gone right off my head
And I'm brainwashed with the doctrine of fools.
But that ain't no way
Cos I know Jesus rules
(O.K?.. ok with me man)
And I know that my life isn't perfect,
But I'm not asking you to look at me
No just turn to Jesus
And, the power of Calvary.
It ain't no secret, no
The whole wide world should know
Jesus Christ died to save us
All that time ago.
So if you're really listening,
And if you really feel in need
Then turn to my friend Jesus
And from your cares be free.
