Jesus Christ (Woody Guthrie / 1940)

[struggle4progress]

Jesus Christ was a man that traveled through this land;
A carpenter, true and brave;
Said to the rich, "Give your goods to the poor",
So they laid Jesus Christ in His grave ...

He went to the sick, he went to the poor;
And he went to the hungry and the lame;
Said that the poor would one day win this world,
And so they laid Jesus Christ in His grave ...

One day Jesus stopped at a rich man's door.
"What must I do to be saved?"
"You must take all your goods and give it to the poor",
And so they laid Jesus Christ in His grave ...

This song was written in New York City,
Of rich man, preachers, and slaves;
Yes, if Jesus was to preach like He preached in Galilee,
They would lay Jesus Christ in His grave

1. Jesus would never be allowed into this country... would be turned away by

the Dept. of Homeland Security. With his talk of allegiance to another political order and such, it just would not be acceptable.

2. I've always thought it rather contradictory

how right-wing religious conservatives will put down Democrats and liberals, promote war, and yet go to church and worship Jesus(history's greatest Liberal and teacher of peace).
