thread 1/6
They told me to follow the teachings of Jesus
To listen to his words and be like him
To let him into my life and heart
To let him guide me in my path
But today they tell me he was wrong
And to stop following in his footsteps

thread 2/6
They told me that Jesus was love
They told me he said to feed the poor
They told me he said to heal the sick
They told me he said to love my neighbor
Today they tell me Jesus was a radical
Nothing but a bleeding heart liberal

thread 3/6
Today they turn their backs to him
They repudiate all his teachings
To follow one that preaches hate
To follow one that feeds their anger
One who’s preachings are soaked in rage
Who does not have one saving grace

thread 4/6
Today they’ve killed the holy son
To satisfy their own desires
They’ve crucified one more time
They’ve sacrificed him to their hate
Without even a backward glance
They’ve followed the other in trance

A
thread 5/6
Today they worship at his feet
Their god forgotten and rejected
They preach holding guns in their hands
They preach of hatred of their neighbors
They throw out the sick and the poor
Rejoicing at the pain they cause

A
thread 6/6
And on the gallows that they’ve erected
The holy ghost struggles to breathe
The son’s weeping goes unnoticed
The father’s grief is overwhelming
As his son whispers once again…
Forgive them father, they know not what they do
