“We Need a Whole Lot More of Jesus (And a lot less Rock & Roll)” is a song originally written and recorded by Wayne Raney in 1959. The song was originally meant sincerely, but country-rock singer Linda Rondstadt recorded an ironic cover of it on her first solo album Hand Sown… Home Grown in 1969...
[Verse 1]
Well, you can read it in the morning papers
Hear it on the radio
Crime is sweeping the nation
This world is about to go
[Chorus 1]
We need a good old case of salvation
To put the love of God in our souls
We need a whole lot more of Jesus
And a lot less rock and roll
[Verse 2]
We need more old time camp meetings
And a lot more prayers of faith
Prayers that will move a mountain
Save our souls from the burning waste
[Chorus 1]
We need a good old case of salvation
To put the love of God in our souls
We need a whole lot more of Jesus
And a lot less rock and roll
[Verse 3]
We need more old fashioned preachers
Pouring out their hearts in prayer
When you're in their presence
Well, you know that the Lord is there
[Chorus 2]
We need a nationwide revival
To put the love of God in our souls
We need a whole lot more of Jesus
And a lot less rock and roll
[Refrain]
We need a whole lot more of Jesus
And a lot less rock and roll
