[ country-folk ] Click Here for Free Song Download You can call yourself conservative, call yourself obsessive Call yourself moderate, liberal or progressive You can call yourself a Christian, Muslim or a Jew An' claim to believe everything in your bible is true But if you want peace like a river to roll down in your soul Gotta be a little bold, want Jesus to forgive you You can hesitate, meditate, levitate, hallucinate An' try every single lie someone says is true But if you want peace like a river to roll down in your soul Gotta be a little bold, want Jesus to forgive you You can claim to be a scientist, have a philosophy that's a little odd Strut around on campus grounds, pretendin' somehow, there ain't no God Or, you can go to church on Sunday, go to work on time Monday An' do your best to do what you think you're supposed to do But if you want peace like a river to roll down in your soul Gotta be a little bold, want Jesus to forgive you Yeah, there's good news for every sinner who ever wanted to be free Just ask Jesus to forgive you and see if God helps you believe we can take it easy Now, you can speculate, moderate, medicate, self-educate An' do everything someone claims is good for you But if you want peace like a river to roll down in your soul Gotta be a little bold, want Jesus to forgive you Yeah, gotta be a little bold an' keep on wantin' him, to forgive you
