Would They Love Him Down In Shreveport
If they saw Him riding in, long hair flying in the wind
Would they love Him down in Shreveport today?
If they heard He was a Jew and a Palestinian too
Would they love Him down in Nashville today?
If they saw Him talk with ease to the junkies, whores, and thieves
Would they love Him out in Wichita today?
Would the rich men think it funny if He said give up your money?
Would they love Him up on Wall Street today?
If He made the wine from water, gave it to their sons and daughters
What would the folks in Salt Lake City say?
If He talked of brotherhood as he walked their neighborhoods
Would they love Him up in Boston today?
If He said love those who use you, and forgive those who abuse you
If He turned the other cheek, what would you say?
Would you laugh and call Him crazy, and just send Him on his way
If Jesus came to your town today?
Eles O Amariam em Shreveport?
Se eles O vissem chegando, cabelo longo voando ao vento
Eles O amariam em Shreveport hoje?
Se soubessem que Ele era judeu e também palestino
Eles O amariam em Nashville hoje?
Se O vissem conversando à vontade com os viciados, prostitutas e ladrões
Eles O amariam em Wichita hoje?
Os ricos achariam engraçado se Ele dissesse para largar a grana?
Eles O amariam em Wall Street hoje?
Se Ele transformasse água em vinho, dando aos filhos e filhas deles
O que o povo em Salt Lake City diria?
Se Ele falasse de irmandade enquanto caminhava pelos bairros deles
Eles O amariam em Boston hoje?
Se Ele dissesse para amar quem te usa, e perdoar quem te maltrata
Se Ele virasse a outra face, o que você diria?
Você riria e chamaria Ele de louco, e só O mandaria embora
Se Jesus chegasse na sua cidade hoje?
