I Told Jesus Songtext
von Roberta Flack

I told Jesus be alright
If you change my name
I told Jesus be alright
If you change, change my name
I told Jesus be alright
Be alright, be alright
I told Jesus be alright
If you change my name

Then he told me
He said the world will turn away from you, child
If I change your name
Yes, he told me
Said the world will turn away from you, child
If I change your name


I told Jesus be alright
Be alright, be alright
I told Jesus be alright
If you change my name

Then he told me
He said your father won′t know you, child
If I change your name
Yes, he told me
Said your mother won't know you, child
Child, if I change your name

But I told Jesus
I said it would be alright
Be alright, be alright
If my father turns away now
And my mother turn away now
Yes, my brother, my baby sister
Turn away, turn away


I told Jesus be alright
If you change my name
Change my name
Change my name
If you change my name
