WOULD YOU CRUCIFY HIM?

John Michael Talbot, from John Michael Talbot



Sometimes, in the cool of the evenin'

Truth comes like a Lover in the wind

Sometimes, when my thoughts have gone misleadin'

She asks that same old question once again...



Chorus:

Would you crucify Him

Would you crucify Him..., my religious friend?

Would you crucify Him..., talking 'bout the sweet Lord Jesus

If He'd walk right here among you once again?



She's askin', How many times have you

Looked down to the harlot

Lookin' through her tears, pretendin' you don't know?

For once you were just like her, how can

You be now so self righteous

When in the name of the Lord you throw the first stone



So now I turn to you through your years of

your robes and stained-glass windows

Do you vainly echo your prayers to please the Lord?'

Profess the Marriage with your tongue,

While your mind dreams like the harlot

But if the Judge looks to your thoughts, can't you guess your reward?



Yet how many times have you quoted from your Bible

To justify your eye for your eye and your tooth for your tooth?

You say that He didn't mean what He was plainly sayin'

But like the Pharisee, my friend, you're an educated fool!
