Lyrics
Jesus didn't say I'd be a rich man
He didn't say I won't grow old
Didn't promise no life of comfort
The Son of Man slept in the cold
I won't fear when they stretch my arms out
And I feel the steel on bone
'Cause Jesus didn't say that I wouldn't be crucified
But that I would not be alone
Jesus didn't say how to live my best life
He ain't preach no therapy
Told a world locked up in a prison cell
The truth will set you free
They didn't love him for the love he gave 'em
Didn't make him a celebrity
He hauled lumber outside of the city gates
And he marched up Calvary
Jesus didn't say I'd be a rich man
He didn't say I won't grow old
Didn't promise no life of comfort
The Son of Man slept in the cold
I won't fear when they stretch my arms out
And I feel the steel on bone
'Cause Jesus didn't say that I wouldn't be crucified
But that I would not be alone
Jesus didn't play no politician
He ain't preach to make no friends
Gave the rich no invitation
BUT HE LET THE TAX MAN IN!
If you're ever cast out and lonely
And the powers just won't let you be
Take heart and a cross and follow him
And let's march up Calvary
Jesus didn't say I'd be a rich man
He didn't say I won't grow old
Didn't promise no life of comfort
The Son of Man slept in the cold
I won't fear when they stretch my arms out
And I feel the steel on bone
'Cause Jesus didn't say that I wouldn't be crucified
But that I would not be alone
Good company Go on, walk on
Good company When you're all alone
Good company With a cross to bear
Good company It's a load you share with
Good company
Good company
