Lyrics

Well you know I'm alright now
Yes I am, I am allright now
since I fisted up with Jesus
I'm allright now
he taught me how to walk
and he taught me how to talk
since I fisted up with Jesus
you know I'm alright now

(Sam)
once I was a stranger
but the savior came on to me
I was burdoned down in sin
for the savior came on to me
said sinner come on in
then he saved a soul from dying
ever since that day I've been crying
since I fisted with Jesus
then I'm allright now

you know I'm allright now
yes I am, I'm allright now
since I fisted up with Jesus
you know I'm allright now
he taught me how to walk
and he taught me how to talk
since I fisted up with Jesus
I'm allright

when I was in trouble
I didn't have no Lord on my sight
but Jesus spoke on to me
said I am truth to the lie
if you take me by my hand
you'll pull me home
send out to the promised land
since I fisted up with Jesus
I'm allright now

you know I am allright now
let me tell you
tell you the reason I am allright now
I've been to the water, been baptized
I feel alright, I feel alright
feel allright, allright now

stepped into the water
water was cold
pure the body, but not the soul
and I said
father, O father
father, father,
yes I'm alright now
since I fisted up with Jesus
you know I'm alright now
he taught me how to walk
and he taught me how to talk
since I since I since I since I
fisted up with Jesus
you know I'm alright now
