reg poole - jesus who? lyrics
[verse 1]
a gospel band was playing on a sunday in the park
and a crowd looked on for laughs as idlers do
a pretty lassie told about her love for jesus christ
and a jeering voice demanded, “jesus who?”
[chorus]
“jesus who?” he asked, “i didn’t catch your boyfriend’s other name
is he a full+back for st kilda? does he follow the racing game? (ah)
(jesus who?) just what keeps him hanging round a pretty girl like you
and what corner does he drink at? jesus who?”
[verse 2]
she turned and calmly faced him and we waited for a sign
of anger or the tears of wounded pride
but the story of hеr sorrows was written in her eyеs
as she raised her head and smilingly replied
[chorus]
“jesus, who” she said, “dropped by to tell us many years ago
we profit nothing if we gain the world and lose our souls (ah)
(jesus who?) who showed us all what miracles our love and faith can do
and tried to build a better world for me and you”
[interlude]
jesus, who forsook the glory of the kingdoms of the world to walk the earth a gentle, humble man (ooh, ah)
who chased the money+changers from the temple and who healed the sick with just the blessing of his hands (ooh, ah)
taught us all to build our lives upon the solid rock of truth, lest our hearts by pagan prophecies be stirred (ooh, ah)
who said, “i go but to prepare a place for you, all the earth may pass away, but not my word” (ooh, ah)
jesus, who said, “little children come to lead the world in love,” and when his time on earth was nearly through (ooh, ah)
crucified, spoke sadly from the cold and bitter cross, “forgive them, for they know not what they do” (ooh, ah)
[chorus]
“jesus, who,” she said, “once taught us how to love our fellow man
and though some of us may scorn him, we are all part of his plan (ah)
(jesus who?) if you really want to know him, i can introduce you to
my friend and yours, the selfsame jesus who
once lived and loved and died for me and you”
