You told me that you wanted somebody to talk to   You told me that you needed a friend   You told me that you wanted somebody to stay with you   Somebody to stick with you to the end      So let me introduce you to someone who knows you   He knew you before you got your name   He's closer than a brother more than your father   And all you've got to do is call his name      Dance! shout!   Come on everybody lets turn his praises out   Dance! shout!   Come on everybody it's all worked out      It's all so very simple! it's all so very plain!   You don't need nobody to explain!   When you believe in your heart that jesus is lord   You will know for yourself that you've been born again!      When we get to glory we will tell the story   Of how we lived in this world below   My soul will look back and wonder   How I made it over   But when I see his face that's when I will know
