30 Pieces Of Silver

You call yourself a Christian

but its only just in name

if Jesus stood before us now

would he call you just the same

Tell me would Jesus share your views

when you’re asked what he would do

would he stone the whore there in the street

or preach hate into the pews

Would he scream with you to damn the queers

and bomb the Middle East

that those who live different to you

are just followers of the beast

Would he say it's complicated

when it comes to genocide

for love and peace are merely terms

that Christian’s must decry

If Jesus walked here on Earth

would you work a soup kitchen with him

or do you only care for the down and poor

when you’re singing your book of hymns

Would you sneer and snub your nose

when he feeds a homeless man

or moan and groan when he opens his arms

to the refugee caravan

Would you sit there at his table

when he says he welcomes all

or would you throw a mighty fit

and further build your wall

Would you greet him with open arms

or a bitter twisted frown

when Jesus comes into your life

and you realize your Saviors brown

Would you call him just a socialist

a liberal little leech

and would you even notice when Jesus turns his back

from all the hate that you preach

Would you take your 30 silver

and jingle it with pride

and give only your thoughts and prayers

when at the hands of police Jesus would die

You think when you get to the pearly gates

you’ll spend eternity holy and free

but will you finally learn humility

when Jesus turns you away and says he never knew thee
