[English]

I've had a dollar to my name

I've had friends that walked away

And I've even lost myself a time or two

There were bridges crossed and burned

But through all the wreckage I have learned

There is one thing that I can never lose

If I got Jesus

I've got all that I could ever need

Take the world away from me

And I'll be okay

If I got Jesus

There's a hope that's living deep inside

A joy that I could never hide

And a safe place to fall

If I got Jesus, I got it all, mmm

I've seen weakness turn to strength

I've seen failures met with grace

And it's not from what I've done, it's Christ in me

A miracle I can't explain

Oh, he's given me his name

I'm the richest man that I could ever be

If I got Jesus

I've got all that I could ever need

Take the world away from me

And I'll be okay

If I got Jesus

There's a hope that's living deep inside

A joy that I could never hide

And a safe place to fall

If I got Jesus, I got it all, oh

Someday that trumpet's gonna sound

And the King of Heaven will ride upon the clouds coming down

I'll hit my knees, oh Lord, then sings my soul

I'm going home

If I got Jesus

I've got all that I could ever need

Take the world away from me

And I'll be okay

If I got Jesus

There's a hope that's living deep inside

A joy that I could never hide

And a safe place to fall

If I got Jesus, I got it all

If I got Jesus

I got it all, mm

Mm-mm
