You Don't Have to Be Clever

You don't have to be clever, though it may well help,
You don't have to be handsome, praise God! praise God!
You don't have to be wealthy, or for that matter healthy,
If your heart's all right, you'll do, you'll do.
If your heart's all right, you'll do.

In the service of Jesus there's a place for all,
If we're towering giants or just sort of small,
If you've been up to college or you don't know much,
If you're childlike you're welcome, for the book says of such,
That the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.

You don't have to be spotless, you could always bath,
You don't have to be polished, praise God! praise God!
If you're thin or you're fatter, for this job it don't matter,
If your heart's all right, you'll do, you'll do.
If your heart's all right, you'll do.

If you've got pots of money, or you're stony broke,
On the dole or redundant, praise God! praise God!
Like a toff or in tatters, there's just one thing that matters,
If your heart's all right, you'll do, you'll do.
If your heart's all right, you'll do.
