Jesus, Spoken Here (Jesus, Sung Here)

A songwriter-singer to stardom he was bound

Back when rockabilly was roaring with a fierce sound

He had the pompadour and all the wild gyrations

Was a big hit in his time with the younger generation

Then one day all that wild behavior ended with him

His Pentecostal background from youth kicked in

Taught to him by his blind grandmother back when

She was a preacher who favored Jesus over sin

No more songs that diminished the teachings of the true Lord

It was a new train he was riding, and he welcomed all aboard

So, with any song you hear from him now the message is clear

Jesus, spoken here, Jesus sung here

If the name Jesus is not in the song, it’s not praising his glory

The life of Jesus is way more than just a wondrous story

His love and grace for you is your only salvation from Hell

Jesus, spoken here; Jesus, sung here; with Jesus I’ll dwell
