| New Lyrics | Original Lyrics |
| If I had Jesus I wouldn't be a'worrying I wouldn't be a'fretting if I had him Because He loves me He knows each hair on my head I know that He will always hold me close, Keep me very well ... well. |
If I had a hammer I'd hammer in the morning I'd hammer in the evening ... all over this land, I'd hammer out danger I'd hammer out a warning I'd hammer out love between all of my brothers and my sisters All over this land. |
| If I had Jesus I wouldn't be a'sinnin' I wouldn't be a'sinnin' if I had him Because it would hurt Him It would say I didn't care I want him to know I really, really love him With all of my heart .. heart. |
If I had a bell I'd ring it in the morning I'd ring it in the evening ... all over this land, I'd ring out danger I'd ring out a warning I'd ring out love between all of my brothers and my sisters All over this land. |
| Well, I have Jesus But do I really love him? Do I put Him first in all that I do? O Lord, please help me To live a holy life To turn from my own desire and keep you always In mind and heart. |
If I had a song I'd sing it in the morning I'd sing it in the evening ... all over this world, I'd sing out danger I'd sing out a warning I'd sing out love between all of my brothers and my sisters All over this land. |
| Well, I've got Jesus I've got salvation And I've got a song to sing ... all over this earth, He's a God of justice He gives me freedom He gives me love for all of my brothers and my sisters All over this land. |
If I've got a hammer And I've got a bell And I've got a song to sing ... all over this land, It's a hammer of justice It's a bell of freedom It's a song about love between all of my brothers and my sisters All over this land. |
