Would You Crucify Him

Lyrics

Sometimes In the cool of the evenin' The truth comes like a Lover Through the wind And sometimes When my thoughts have gone misleadin' She'll ask that same old question Once again Would you crucify Him Now, would you crucify Him My old friends? Now, would you crucify Him Talkin' '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? But 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 Would you crucify Him Now, would you crucify Him My religious friends? Now, would you crucify Him Talkin' 'bout the sweet Lord Jesus If He'd walk right here among you Once again? So now I turn to you Through your years of your robes And stained-glass window And do you vainly echo your prayers Say you're pleasin' the Lord? Profess the Marriage with your tongue But your mind dreams like the harlot But if the Judge looks to your thoughts Can't you guess your reward? But 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 And somehow I think that crucified Him I think that crucified Him My religious friends But would you crucify Him Talkin' 'bout the sweet Lord Jesus If He'd walk right here among you Once again? Now, would you crucify Him Talkin' 'bout the sweet Lord Jesus If He'd walk right here among you Once again?
