"Jesus Can Work It Out" Lyrics

We wanna go back to the old school for a minute
Hand clappin' and toe tappin'
We wanna visit our friends over in Chicago
Sister Albatina Walker
Inez Andrews, The Baron Sisters
Clay Evans and Father Hayes
And the Cosmopolitan Church of Prayer

Jesus can work it out
Jesus can work it out
Jesus can work it out
Jesus can work it out

That problem that I had
I just couldn't seem to solve
I tried and I tried
But I kept gettin' deeper involved

So I turned it over to Jesus
And I stopped worryin' about it
Turned it over to the Lord
(He worked it out)

Jesus
(Jesus can work it out)
If you let Him
(Jesus can work it out)

I said Jesus
(Jesus can work it out)
Jesus
(Jesus can work it out)

That pain that would not move
Had me prayin' in the upper room
(Upper room)
That burning that I bore
(I bore)
Just wonderin' how much more
(Much more)

I turned it over to Jesus
(Jesus)
And I stopped worryin' about it
('Bout it)
Turned it over to the Lord
He worked it out
(Oh yeah, oh)

Jesus
(Jesus can work it out)
If you let Him
(Jesus can work it out)

I said Jesus
(Jesus can work it out)
I know Jesus
(Jesus can work it out)

That habit that I had
(I had)
I just couldn't seem to break
(To break)

I prayed and I prayed
(I Prayed)
But I thought it'd be too late
(Too late)

So I turned it over to Jesus
(Jesus)
And I stopped worryin' about it
(About it)

So I turned it over to Jesus
(Jesus)
And I stopped Worryin' about it
(About it)

I said I stopped worryin' about it
(About it)
I said I stopped worryin' about it
(About it)

Turned it over to the Lord
(He worked it out, oh yeah)
Oh, come on, turn
