On Jesus' Program Lyrics

On Jesus' program
I'll wade out in the deep
Oh yes I will
On Jesus' program
Oh I cannot sleep
On Jesus' program
The Holy Spirit will creep
I know he'll take me, shake me
Make me what I have to be

On Jesus' program
I'm working for Christ
Oh yes I am
On Jesus' program
I know someday I'll rise
On Jesus' program
To mansions in the sky
Where I'll be free to live on
To live on
Eternally

I'm workin'
On the program
Every day
When this life
Is all over
I'm going home
When this life
Is all over
I'm going home

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
