I wasn't able to hear everything clearly, but this is sort of how the lyrics go (please correct me if I'm wrong):
Petra - Rockin' On With Jesus
Words and music by Greg Hough
Come on and listen everybody I heard something just the other day
Well, there’s a cat named Jesus who wants to come into your life today
He’s got a better way of thinking and a lot of good things to say
Well, come on brother Billy and my sister Sally Soon,
Come on and rock with Jesus cause He wants to rock with you
Yeah, we’re rockin’ on with Jesus
Well, we’re rockin’ on with Jesus
Cause I’ve been rockin’ on with Jesus, I ain’t fooling with the devil no more
I got a second-hand Bible from a Salvation Army store
I got a funky guitar, … once more
Cause I’ve been rockin’ on with Jesus, I don’t really need … much more
Wow, rock ‘n’ roll
Well, from the early, early morning, all day long into the night
When you’ve got your Jesus with you, Lord, there’s nothing you can’t fight
Yeah, we’re rockin’ on with Jesus
Yeah, we’re rockin’ on with Jesus, glory, hallelujah
I’ve been rockin’ on with Jesus, I ain’t fooling with the devil no more
Mama, papa told me, so much up for Satan and his tricks
Cause when you’re rockin’ on with Satan, Lord, he’ll get you in a mighty …
But when you’re rockin’ on with Jesus, Lord, the devil never … his tricks
That’s why I’m rockin’ on with Jesus
Yeah, I’m rockin’ on with Jesus, glory, hallelujah
I’ve been rockin’ on with Jesus
