I was just about 16
Didn't need no help
I got in plenty of trouble all by myself
When I heard that screendoor
And saw my mama's face
She said "I raised you up
And now you know the way"
Let Jesus do the talkin'
Let Jesus bring you in
Let Jesus do the judgin'
Cause he knows where you been--he knows
I heard about a young woman
Taken to her knees
She said " I don't deserve nobody lovin' me"
Well, she ain't done nothin'
We haven't all thought of
A little understanding wouldn't hurt too much
There ain't nobody walked in her shoes
Better keep our mouths shut till we do
And let Jesus do the talkin'
Let Jesus bring us in
Let Jesus do the judgin'
Cause he knows where we been
I was shakin' my finger
Turnin' red in face
With a piece of my mind all over the place
Then I looked in the mirror
And to my surprise
Was a big ole tear comin' to my eyes
I thought who do I think that I am
It ain't justice I hold in my hand
Let Jesus do the talkin'
Gotta let Jesus bring me in
Let Jesus do the judgin'
Cause he knows where we been
He knows...
Gotta let Jesus...
