I don't need no religion cos I got the Lord Don't need to work up to Him cos He came Down & did it all Don't need no barefoot pilgrimages Don't need no porcelain images Don't need no candles lit Don't need no penance sit Don't need no religion Jesus came & touched me Don't need no religion He came down & changed me Don't need no religion Don't have to do a thing Don't need no religion If I want to it's out of loving Him By faith I don't need no religion don't need No load on my back No fall down no failure No asceticism no fall back I thought that I would work my way Into God's kingdom someday But He let me know in time Now I'm in His kingdom And He's ruling mine
