Jesus Got a Tight Grip Lyrics

Well, I ain't never been an angel
I ain't never been called a saint
Yeah, I've decorated every bar in town
With a big red coat of paint
But good thing I had a good raisin'
For all the Hell I've raised since then
When that roll is called up yonder
I know they've gonna let me in

'Cause Jesus got a tight grip on my soul
And he ain't lettin' go, he ain't lettin' go
The Devil reaches out but he can't grab hold
'Cause Jesus got a tight grip on my soul
And he ain't lettin' go, he ain't lettin' go
Might have a little rust on my halo
But when I'm gone, I know where I'll go
'Cause Jesus got a tight grip on my soul

Now I've been a little more cold beer
Than holy water, it's true
More Saturday night on an old bar stool
Than a Sunday morning pew
But even old Hank Williams
Finally saw the light
And, oh hallelujah, I have too
And it ain't just the neon kind

'Cause Jesus got a tight grip on my soul
And he ain't lettin' go, he ain't lettin' go
The Devil reaches out but he can't grab hold
'Cause Jesus got a tight grip on my soul
And he ain't lettin' go, he ain't lettin' go
Might have a little rust on my halo
But when I'm gone, I know where I'll go
'Cause Jesus got a tight grip on my soul, yeah
Jesus got a tight grip on my soul, yeah

Whoa
I got a long, long way to go
Whoa
But I'm gonna get there, I know

'Cause Jesus got a tight grip on my soul
And he ain't lettin' go, he ain't lettin' go
The Devil reaches out but he can't grab hold
'Cause Jesus got a tight grip on my soul
And he ain't lettin' go (no, no), he ain't lettin' go
Might have a little rust on my halo (my halo)
But when I'm gone, I know where I'll go
'Cause Jesus got a tight grip on my soul
Jesus got a tight grip on my soul
Yeah, he does, and he ain't lettin' go

What is the Meaning of Jesus Got a Tight Grip?

Blake Shelton’s heartfelt tune reminds us that nobody's perfect, but redemption is within reach. The song paints a picture of a man with a colorful past, more familiar with the local bar scene than the church pews. Despite his imperfections and a "little rust on his halo," he has faith that his soul is in good hands. The repeated reassurance that "Jesus got a tight grip on my soul" underscores a sense of security and faith that even when the devil tries to intervene, he can't break the divine hold. It's a relatable anthem for anyone who's stumbled along their spiritual journey yet trusts in a greater power for guidance and salvation. Shelton beautifully captures the essence of redemption and the unwavering belief that, regardless of past missteps, there's hope for a better path ahead.
