Lyrics

WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?
(Lyrics and music by Winston Apple)

Faced with these illegal immigrants
What would Jesus do?

All along our border, the Rio Grande, we’re building fences
We build ‘em high and far and wide
To keep out trespassers, mostly downtrodden workers
Who come sneaking across the border looking for a better life
Do you think Jesus would favor such fences?
Or would He welcome them as neighbors
Show them Love, and treat them right?

You call yourself a Christian
Well, I’ve got just one question for you
Faced with these illegal immigrants
What would Jesus do?

Standing in the harbor, up in New York City
There’s a big green lady with her lamp held high
And down by her feet, some fine and noble words of welcome
Perhaps we’ll mean them and live up to them, by and by, by and by

You call yourself a Christian
Well, I’ve got just one question for you
Faced with these illegal immigrants
What would Jesus do?

I’m from Missouri
Our motto is “Show Me”
I think our motto is missing a couple of words
So from now on, for me, our motto is “Show me the Love”
Some folks seem to think that Love is a four-letter word
Well it is
But it’s not a bad one
(Show me the Love)
In fact, it’s a good one
(Show me the Love)
Maybe the best one of all
