Jesus Is the Best Thing
Rev. James Cleveland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
God's been good to me, and the downs have been few
I would guess you can say, God has blessed me
But there's never been a time in my life, he didn't bring me through
If anyone should ever write, my life story
For whatever reason there might be
You'd be there, between each line of pain and glory
Jesus is the best thing that ever happened
Jesus is the best thing that ever happened
Jesus is the best thing that ever happened to me
If anyone should ever write, my life story
For whatever reason there might be
One day, I was lost but Jesus found me
Jesus is the best thing that ever happened
Jesus is the best thing that ever happened
Jesus is the best thing that ever happened to me
If anyone should ever write, my life story
For whatever reason there might be
I was on my way to hell, but Jesus lifted me
Jesus is the best thing that ever happened
Jesus is the best thing that ever happened
Jesus is the best thing that ever happened to me
Jesus is the best thing that ever happened
Jesus is the best thing that ever happened
Jesus is the best thing that ever happened to me
Jesus is the best thing that ever happened
Jesus is the best thing that ever happened
Jesus is the best thing that ever happened to me
