Sometimes, in the cool of the evenin’
The truth comes like a Lover through the wind
Sometimes, when my thoughts have gone misleadin’
She’ll ask that same old question once again…
Chorus 1:
Would you crucify Him
Would you crucify Him…, my old friend?
Now would you crucify Him…, I’m talking ’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’d throw the first stone
Chorus 2:
Would you crucify Him
Now would you crucify Him…, my religious friend?
Now would you crucify Him…, I’m talking ’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 your stained-glass windows
Do you vainly echo your prayers, say you’re “pleasing 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!
Chorus 3:
And somehow… I think they’d crucify Him
I think they’d crucify Him…, my religious friends?
Now would you crucify Him…, I’m talking ’bout the sweet Lord Jesus
If He’d walk right here among you once again?
Now would you crucify Him…I’m talking ’bout the sweet Lord Jesus
If He’d walk right here among you once again?
