Kurt Carr We've Gotta Put Jesus Back lyrics

[Spoken Intro]
Everybody, I am a Jesus promoter.
I got a new song that says:
We've got to put Jesus back, make Him number one,
First in our lives; that's where He belongs!

Verse:
Oh, great church, mighty and strong
Go back to the values you were built upon.
Oh, brothers and sisters, come on, come on!
Remember we're not losers; we are the champions.
They took prayer out of the schools;
We shouldn't have allowed this!
Now they're even trying
To take Jesus out of Christmas!

Chorus:
Church, arise, arise and be strong.
We've gotta put Jesus back. (3x)
Number one: That's where He belongs!

Jesus is the way, Jesus is the way,
Jesus is the only way to make it.
Jesus is the way, and He will make us strong.

Bridge:
