Lyrics
(Intro)
Yo, it's your boy J.C. back on the track,
Got a message for my people, gotta spit the facts. Some Christians, nah, most Christians today;
man, it's gone too far, you losing ya way.
(Verse)
I walked the earth, spreading love and peace,
Now I see what you're doing in the middle east.
Fightin' battles over land and oil
Forgetting my teachings, y'all’ve gone spoiled.
"Love your neighbor," did you miss that part?
I turn the other cheek, but you harden your heart.
Judgin' who's worthy, casting stones like you perfect,
But you don't know the Word, you got no purpose.
I dined with sinners, the lepers too,
You buildin' walls, scared of who?
My kingdom ain't 'bout no riches or fame,
But you chase the dollar, ignorin' my name.
"Blessed are the peacemakers," that's what I said,
But you're spreadin' hate, wishin' harmless folks dead.
You claim to know my Love, but you're full of fear,
Lockin' the homeless in the cold, so the poor will disappear.
(Chorus)
What would Jesus say if he saw you today?
Christians be lost, they gone the other way.
Forgettin' my love, preachin' hate and disdain,
If you met me now, you’d treat me the same!
You'd call me a hippie, maybe even a fraud,
For rockin’ with the folks your church finds odd.
You'd see my sandals, my beard, my raggedy ass clothes,
You'd scream some crap at me, and turn up your nose.
I healed the sick, fed the hungry, spoke straight Truth,
Now you’re busy makin' laws to lock up poor youth.
If you saw me on the street, just another bum,
Would you recognize your Savior or would you run?
When I was hungry, you gave me no food,
Thirsty, no drink, that's your attitude.
A stranger, not welcome, naked, no clothes,
In prison, no visit, that's how it always goes.
You think heaven's gates would open for you?
For the humble, the kind, the loving it do.
Drop your hate, drop your pride, drop the mask you wear,
Embrace the lost, the needy, show them you care.
(Chorus)
What would Jesus say if he saw you today?
Christians be lost, they gone the other way.
Forgettin' my love, preachin' hate and disdain,
If you met me now, you’d treat me the same!
(Bridge)
Let's rewind, take it back to the heart of my tale,
It’s the love that prevails, not the thorns or the nails.
If you think you’re righteous but you're cold inside,
You're missing the gospel, you ain't on my ride.
"Judge not, lest ye be judged," did you forget?
With your hateful ways, you're placing a lousy bet.
Picture me now, walkin' in your shoes,
Do you honestly believe that I'd act like you?
I'm callin' ya out, it's time for a change,
Get back to the love, stop actin' deranged.
“Do unto others,” that’s my golden rule,
But you’re spreadin’ hate, ya actin’ like a fool.
(Verse)
In your mega-churches, preachin' wealth and gold,
Did you forget the story that I told?
The widow’s mite, the humble seed,
It’s the smallest acts of love that fulfill the need.
You’re whinin', shoutin', makin' all that noise,
But the kingdom of heaven don't hear your voice.
It's in the quiet actions, ya secret prayers,
That genuine love, those unspoken cares.
"When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?"
Or just a bunch of wack haters who forgot my worth?
When the hungry are fed and the naked clothed,
When the stranger is welcomed, that’s where I go.
If you’re walkin' my path, only then will you see,
It’s when you love one another, that you love Me.
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
What would Jesus say if he saw you today?
Christians be lost, they gone the other way.
Forgettin' my love, preachin' hate and disdain,
If you met me now, you’d treat me the same!
(Outro)
So hurry, Christians, it’s time to wake up,
Remember my teachings, let love fill your cup.
The path is narrow, but love is the key,
Be the light in the darkness, just like me.
