lirik lagu vera johnson - jesus was a preacher
jesus was a preacher and he lived on charity
he told the jews, “give up your jobs and come and follow me”
but the christians frown on idleness, it’s a mortal sin, they claim
so they persecute the hippies and it’s all in jesus’ name
jesus said, “for clothing don’t be anxious, full of care
the body’s more important than the garments that you wear”
but the christians think that everyone should be dressed about the same
so they persеcute the hippies and it’s all in jеsus’ name
jesus’ hands were dirty, so the pharisee did chide
and jesus said, “outside you’re clean, but black with sin inside”
but the christians say that cleanliness should be everybody’s aim
so they persecute the hippies and it’s all in jesus’ name
jesus preached of loving and his message we all know
to love your neighbour as yourself and even love your foe
but the christians fan their hatred ’til it’s like a glowing flame
so they persecute the hippies and it’s all in jesus’ name
jesus practised fasting till he really blew his mind
he thought that in his vision revelations he might find
but the christians say, “don’t blow your mind, it’s a scandal and a shame”
so they persecute the hippies and it’s all in jesus’ name
jesus said that blessed were the men who strove for peace
he called them “sons of god” and hoped their work would never cease
but the christians call them “peaceniks” and other words of scorn and blame
so they persecute the hippies and it’s all in jesus’ name
jesus said that treasures shouldn’t be laid up on the earth
for if a man should lose his soul what is his fortune worth?
but the christians don’t like poverty and they honour wealth and fame
so they persecute the hippies and it’s all in jesus’ name
jesus spread a message as through galilee he trudged
he said to those who listened, “judge not that ye be not judged”
but the christians sit in judgement and others’ failings they proclaim
so they persecute the hippies and it’s all in jesus’ name
