The doors opened up
And I got on the elevator
I saw the other people
Who were standing around
Everyone was silent
No one made a sound
And I thought,
What if I said Jesus real loud?
Hey!

CHORUS:
What if I said Jesus real loud?
What if I just lifted up my voice
And did it now?
Would you think I was a prophet?
Would you still want me around?
What if I said Jesus real loud?
What if I said Jesus real loud?
What if I just lifted up my voice
Above the crowd?
Would you think I was a prophet?
Would you think I was a clown?
What if I said Jesus real loud?

The doors opened up
And I went in the dentist's office
They handed me a magazine
They told me to sit down
Everyone was waiting
No one made a sound
And I thought,
What if I said Jesus real loud?
Hey!

CHORUS

It's OK sometimes to whisper
But hey, listen to me mister
The way we act can anybody tell?
Lift your voice a little higher
Smell the smoke and feel the fire
Ain't it time somebody
Started to yell?

CHORUS

What if I said Jesus real loud?
What if I said Jesus real loud?
