Lyrics
Verse
Me and Jesus got our whole thing going
Me and Jesus got it all worked out
Me and Jesus got our whole thing going
We don't need nobody to tell us what it's all about
I know a man that once was a loser
I know a man that once was a drunk
I know a man that once was a loser
He went out won me, baby, turned around off a stump
Chorus
'Cause me and Jesus got our whole thing going
Me and Jesus got it all worked out
Me and Jesus got our whole thing going
We don't need nobody to tell us what it's all about
Verse
We can't afford any fancy singing
We can't afford any fancy church
We can't afford any fancy singing
Well you know Jesus got a lot of poor people out doin' his work
'Cause me and Jesus got our whole thing going
Me and Jesus got it all worked out
Me and Jesus got our whole thing going
We don't need nobody to tell us what it's all about
Me and Jesus got our whole thing going
Me and Jesus got it all worked out
Me and Jesus got our whole thing going
We don't need nobody to tell us what it's all about
Chorus
Me and Jesus got our whole thing going
Me and Jesus got it all worked out
Me and Jesus got our whole thing going
We don't need nobody to tell us what it's all about
Me and Jesus got our whole thing going
Me and Jesus got it all worked out
Me and Jesus got our whole thing going
We don't need nobody to tell us what it's all about
Me and Jesus got our whole thing going
Me and Jesus got it all worked out
Me and Jesus got our whole thing going
We don't need nobody to tell us what it's all about
Me and Jesus got our whole thing going
Me and Jesus got it all worked out
Me and Jesus got our whole thing going
We don't need nobody to tell us what it's all about

Meaning & Inspiration
Me and Jesus is a country-style song about a plain, personal friendship with Jesus. The verse says that the singer and Jesus have their whole thing going and all worked out, and do not need anybody to explain what it is all about. It tells of a man who was once a loser and a drunk and who turned around, and the chorus repeats the confident refrain about the friendship.
The second verse says there is no money for fancy singing or a fancy church, but that Jesus has many poor people doing His work, and the refrain repeats several times to close the song. The themes follow John 15:15 on Jesus calling His followers friends, 1 Corinthians 1:27 on God choosing the weak and foolish, and James 2:5 on the poor being rich in faith. The conversational wording, steady beat and repeated chorus give the song an easygoing, cheerful tone that suits a sing-along.
