Would You Crucify Him

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?
