about

Just before my mama passed away at 93, she said to me, "When ever you're in doubt, just ask yourself, what would Jesus do? With this song and in these trying times, we ask, "You'd better really wanna know, really wanna know the truth, before you ask, what would Jesus do?

lyrics

He'd rip the doors off the hinges of the cages
Walk right in and hold all those kids who've been cryin'...
He'd storm the halls of the White House callin' out,
wide eyed politicians, for their greed and lyin'...
He'd tell the bigots who want all the foreigners to leave this country, to pack their shit..

He ain't the blue-eyed fair skinned meek and mild lamb
they sold us..
If he came back today I bet he'd be mad as hell.
You better really wanna know, really wanna know the truth,
Before you ask,
What would Jesus do?

He'd crash the board room and ask the share holders
Where does profit end and greed begin?
And if he didn't like the answers,
he'd flip the tables like he did in the temple, and say
try again..
He'd smack the jet-set preachers in their mansions,
ignoring all the homeless out in the streets..

He ain't the blue-eyed fair skinned meek and mild lamb
they sold us..
If he came back today I bet he'd be mad as hell.
You better really wanna know, really wanna know the truth,
Before you ask,
What would Jesus do? What would Jesus Do?

I bet he'd blow some minds with who he left behind
And who he'd heal, for free..
He'd look humanity in the eye and say,
"How'd you get so far away from me?"...

That blue-eyed fair skinned meek and mild lamb they sold us,
If he came back today, I'd bet he'd be mad as hell..
You better really wanna know, really wanna know the truth.
You'd better really wanna know, really wanna know the truth.
You better really wanna know, really wanna know..the truth
Before you ask,
What would Jesus Do?
What would Jesus Do?
