Michael Boggs - What Would Jesus Undo lyrics
rate meWould God unpreach every sermon spoke in hatred?
The kind with hell fire burning on their lips.
Would He unsing every sacred song of worship?
We sing it, but don’t mean a word of it.
Would he unsay every scripture said in anger?
The kind that's used to hurt more than to help.
Would he unpoint all the pointing words and fingers,
Hold up a mirror so we can point 'em at ourselves.
Oh, the things we do in His name.
I wonder if He shakes his head
and thinks "that's not what I meant".
What does hurting the hurting prove?
If we're supposed to love,
I wonder why we judge
when grace has graced us too.
When it comes down to me and you,
what would Jesus undo? What would Jesus undo?
Would He unkeep all the treasures that we're hoarding,
oh, and give a couple hungry mouths some food.
Would He unbuild all the walls the church keeps building,
to keep all the sinners off our pews.
Oh, the things we do in His name.
I wonder if He shakes His head
and thinks "that's not what I meant".
What does hurting the hurting prove?
If we're supposed to love,
I wonder why we judge
when grace has graced us too.
When it comes down to me and you,
what would Jesus undo?
Oh, love doesn't keep score,
love cares more for
others than it does itself.
When will we realize,
maybe open up our eyes and see
this ain't the way it's meant to be.
I wonder if He shakes His head
and thinks "that's not what I meant."
What does hurting the hurting prove?
If we're supposed to love,
I wonder why we judge
when grace has graced us too.
If it comes down to me and you, I pray we always see the truth and maybe ask a time or two:
What would Jesus undo?
What would Jesus undo?
