I picked up this mornings paper,
FC
tears of sorrow filled my eyes,
read where a church spends forty million,
AmG
to rebuild and to modernize,
F
the walls will be made of granite,
C
imported marble on the floors,
there'll be lots of stained glass windows,
GCA
the finest wood for all the doors.
DG
The church invited the mayor,
D
and half the folks from city hall,
to take part in the dedication,
BmA
of the church, that would stand so tall,
G
it said, the local t.v. station,
D
will cover the story that day,
but I wonder if they invited Jesus,
AD
or would he just get in their way.
ChorusDD7G
What I wanna know is what about Jesus,
D
would he be welcomed there,
AAbG
if he came walking in with sandles,
D
dressed in sackcloth, and long hair,
DD7G
won't you tell me about the sinner,
D
hooked on drugs and alcohol,
AAbG
oh Lord, it makes me wonder,
D
would he be welcomed there at all.
