Jesus Got a Hold of My Life
by The Imperials

Album: The Best of The Imperials

Jesus got a hold of my life
And He won't let me go
Jesus got into my heart
He got into my soul
I used to be, oh, so sad
But now I'm just free and glad
'Cause Jesus got a hold of my life
And He won't let go

Sometimes I remember
How I used to be livin' in sin
I tried to act happy and free
But I wasn't within
I fooled a lot of friends of mine
They thought I had some peace of mind
But I never had a thing
Until I opened up and let Jesus in

Mmm, aren't you gettin' just a bit tired
Of foolin' around?
(Aren't you gettin' just a bit tired)
You try to laugh your way through life
But you're not gainin' ground
Why not try the Lord today
Just ask Him in your heart to stay
And you'll find Jesus' love to be
The greatest thing that you've ever found

Jesus, Jesus got a hold of my life
No, He won't, He won't
No, won't let me go
Mmm, Jesus, Jesus got into my heart
You know that He got into my soul
I used to be, oh, so sad
But now I'm just free and glad
Jesus, Jesus got a hold
And He won't let go, no, no, no

Jesus got a hold of my life
(Jesus, Jesus)
And He won't let me go
No, He won't, He won't
No, won't let me go
Jesus got into my heart
(Jesus, Jesus)
He got into my soul
You know that He got into my soul
I used to be, oh, so sad
But now I'm just free and glad
Jesus got a hold of my life
(Jesus, Jesus)
And He won't let go
Oh, I believe...
