If Jesus Was Here

If Jesus was here on the earth today Would I make him my friend or would I look away Would I walk with him down a righteous path Or would I sit and point, making jokes and laugh If Jesus told me to stop hoarding my wealth Giving more of my money away only heals myself Would I point out that I think it is so unfair That what I work for so hard goes into welfare If Jesus took my guns away and reminded me That I am supposed to love my enemy Would I cry that it’s my second amendment right And this tyrannical government I must prepare to fight If Jesus told me, my neighbors I should love Even the two gay guys living in the flat above Would I tell him it’s unnatural and it makes me sick Would I tell him I quote the Bible to make hate stick If Jesus was here on the earth today Would I make him my friend or would I look away Would I change my ways and stand by his side Or would I cheer with the crowd when he is crucified
