“Jesus Is Just Alright” is just one of the many popular covers of the hit Art Reynolds Singers song of the same name, just behind The Byrds‘ version and The Doobie Brothers’ version respecfully. The song uses the term “all right” in its societal context in the 1960s as “cool” or “very good.”

Do do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do do
Do do do
Kick it for me one time
Oh, yeah, yeah

(Uh) TobyMac, and the Mac is back, no slack
On a DC track that's jacked (Uh)
Beyond comprehension
I believe that I failed to mention (Uh)

When it comes to His position (Uh)
'Cause if Christ can't be crossed over
Then I'll keep my beat up nova (Uh)

I don't care what they may say
I don't care what they may do
I don't care what they may say
'Cause Jesus is still all right
All right with me, yeah
[Verse 2: TobyMac & James Brown]
(Uh) Back in place, and I'm all up in your face
With a rhyme that I embrace (Uh)
Like a mother to her child
I'm kickin' it Jesus style (Uh)
To the ones that think they heard
I did use the "J" word (Uh)
'Cause I ain't too soft to say it
Even if DJ's don't play it (Uh)
