Lyrics
Jesus ain’t been kicked out of the bluegrass festivals (yet)
When I was young and still in school, we said I pledge allegiance
With folded hands and heads bowed low we said I love you Jesus
Now things will change and life moves on they call it life progression
But I like life the way it was before all this aggression
Jesus ain’t been kicked out of the bluegrass festival
Even though you won’t find him in our courtrooms or our schools
Just sit right down and listen, and I’m sure you will agree
Jesus ain’t been kicked out of the bluegrass jamboree
You won’t hear much about our Lord in heavy metal music
Sex and drugs and rock and roll are exotic and confusing
You won’t hear him in rap or pop or Fleetwood Mac or Hendrix
But I like songs about the Lord with bluegrass gospel lyrics
Jesus ain’t been kicked out of the bluegrass festival
Even though you won’t find him in our courtrooms or our schools
Just sit right down and listen, and I’m sure you will agree
Jesus ain’t been kicked out of the bluegrass jamboree
Well all you folks I hope you know, I love to sing about Jesus
And I’m so glad to tell you all about his loving kindness
His saving grace and sacrifice just brings me to my knees
I’m so glad he’s still allowed in the bluegrass jamboree
Jesus ain’t been kicked out of the bluegrass family
