Would Jesus Be Welcome
C majorC
I picked up this mornings paper,
FF C majorC
tears of sorrow filled my eyes,
read where a church spends forty million,
A minorAm G+G
to rebuild and to modernize,
FF
the walls will be made of granite,
C majorC
imported marble on the floors,
there'll be lots of stained glass windows,
G+G C majorC A augmentedA
the finest wood for all the doors.
D MajorD G+G
The church invited the mayor,
D MajorD
and half the folks from city hall,
to take part in the dedication,
B minorBm A augmentedA
of the church, that would stand so tall,
G+G
it said, the local t.v. station,
D MajorD
will cover the story that day,
but I wonder if they invited Jesus,
A augmentedA D MajorD
or would he just get in their way.
Chorus:
D MajorD D7D7 G+G
What I wanna know is what about Jesus,
D MajorD
would he be welcomed there,
A augmentedA AbAb G+G
if he came walking in with sandles,
D MajorD
dressed in sackcloth, and long hair,
D MajorD D7D7 G+G
won't you tell me about the sinner,
D MajorD
hooked on drugs and alcohol,
A augmentedA AbAb G+G
oh Lord, it makes me wonder,
D MajorD
would he be welcomed there at all.
Chorus:
D MajorD
I picked up this mornings paper,
G+G D MajorD
and tears of sorrow filled my eyes.
