[Intro]
I'm gon' sing a song tonight, and the subject of this song is "I Know I've Got Religion" (Yes, sir)
And I want everybody that know they got religion to open their mouth and help me sing (Amen!) (Alright)
Ah, you ought to know you've got good religion (Yes, sir!)
I may be in doubt as to just who is my father, and just who is my mother (Yes, sir) (Amen)
Ah, nobody knows just who is their father and mother (True)
They know what somebody said (Yes, sir!)
Ah, but I know I've got religion (Amen!) (Yes, sir!)
I may be mistaken 'bout where I was born there (Yes)
And the house thеy said I was born in (Amen!)
But I'm not mistaken about my second birth (Oh yеs) (Yes sir)
I know that I've been born again (Yes sir!) (Amen!)
And I know I've got religion (Yes!)
Do you know it? (Yes, sir!)
I know it for myself (Amen!) (Oh yes)
And I don't care what the world say about me (Yes, sir)
I know I've got good religion (Yes, sir!) (Amen!)
[Chorus]
Know got religion, yes, yes
I know I got religion, yes, yes
I know I got religion, yes, yes
And the world can't do me no harm
[Verse]
And Jesus written me a letter
And every word a-was true
And when I read that letter
It searched me through and through
[Chorus]
I know I got religion, yes, yes
I know I got religion, yes, yes
I know I got religion, yes, yes
And the world can't do me no harm
[Verse]
Ohh, Lordy (Amen), ohh
The Jews didn't believe in Jesus
And not a word He said
But He went on down to Lazarus' grave
And He raised him from the dead
[Chorus]
I know I got religion, yes, yes
I know I got religion, yes, yes
I know I got religion, yes, yes
And the world can't do me no harm
[Verse]
Ahh, do you know you got religion? (Yes sir)
Ahh, have you ever woked up at the midnight hour? (Amen, yes sir)
Ahh, and your heart (Lord Jesus) was leaping for joy (Amen) (Yes sir)
[Outro]
I know I got religion, yes, yes
I know I got religion, yes, yes
