Song by TD Lind with Juliet Roberts and Mary Pearce<br /><br>

Jesus Christ was a man who traveled through the land<br>

Hard working man and brave<br>

He said to the rich, "Give your goods to the poor."<br>

So they laid Jesus Christ in his grave.<br>

Jesus was a man, a carpenter by hand<br>

His followers true and brave<br>

One dirty little coward called Judas Iscariot<br>

Has laid Jesus Christ in his grave<br>

He went to the sick, he went to the poor,<br>

And he went to the hungry and the lame;<br>

Said that the poor would one day win this world,<br>

And so they laid Jesus Christ in his grave.<br>

He went to the preacher, he went to the sheriff,<br>

Told them all the same;<br>

Sell all of your jewelry and give it to the Poor,<br>

But they laid Jesus Christ in his grave.<br>

When Jesus came to town, the working folks around,<br>

Believed what he did say;<br>

The bankers and the preachers they nailed him on a cross,<br>

And they laid Jesus Christ in his grave.<br>

Poor working people, they follered him around,<br>

Sung and shouted gay;<br>

Cops and the soldiers, they nailed him in the air,<br>

And they nailed Jesus Christ in his grave.<br>

Well the people held their breath when they heard about his death,<br>

And everybody wondered why;<br>

It was the landlord and the soldiers that he hired.<br>

That nailed Jesus Christ in the sky.<br>

When the love of the poor shall one day turn to hate.<br>

When the patience of the workers gives away<br>

"Would be better for you rich if you never had been born"<br>

So they laid Jesus Christ in his grave.<br>

This song was written in New York City<br>

Of rich men, preachers and slaves<br>

Yes, if Jesus was to preach like he preached in Galillee,<br>

They would lay Jesus Christ in his grave.<br>
