What would Jesus see, say, and do if he was walking in the streets of our cities today.

Story behind the song
We have to admit that mankind has not changed much from 2000 or so years ago. So many leaders in the world are still corrupt and many people are harmed by that corruption. What would Jesus say about it?

And those who chose the opposite path will be cast into a void!
Second Verse:
What would Jesus think if he saw millions illegally entering our land?
Would he want to stop the people who give criminal cartels a helping hand?
What would Jesus do if he saw politicians lie, cheat, and steal from you?
Would he agree to give to the Caesars what should be given to God?
Or would He want to give to them what they deserve?
What would Jesus, What would Jesus do?

will receive, justice written, by St. Peters quill.
