Lyrics
WHO IS THIS JESUS?
Lyrics by Peter Merz
Music by Steve Christy
Who is this Jesus that I should pay Him any mind?
What has He done? Name His transgression, name His Crime?
Thinks He’s a prophet? So tell me What that means to me
That is no reason to go nail Him to a tree
CHORUS 1
Why should I care about a Galilean hick?
Yet the words He has spoken have cut me to the quick
My soul if I had one would be shaking in its sandals
Now it’s crucify or pardon, how’d I wind up in this scandal
Who is this Jesus a guilty one or one defamed?
Should He be punished, crucified in open shame?
Rulers of Judea are pleading for a Roman Death
Why should He die, this is no more than wasted breath
REPEAT CHORUS 1
BRIDGE
So do I kill this King of the Jews
To appease this repulsive little lot
Heads they win, tails I lose
Well I want no part of this sordid little plot
INTERLUDE: MRS PILATE’S LETTER
CHORUS 2
Why should I care about a Galilean hick?
Yet the words He has spoken have cut me to the quick
My conscience if I had one would convict me as a sinner
Now would someone explain how I became the lucky winner?
CODA
In all my years of politics
it’s never been this tough
And it’s gonna take my bag of tricks
to raise the stakes and call their bluff
