Would They Love Him In Shrveport
by B.J. Thomas

Album: Golden Collection

If they saw him riding in,
long hair flying in the wind,
Would they love him in Shreveport today?

And if they saw he was a Jew,
and a Palestinian, too,
Hey, would they love him down in Nashville today?

And if they saw him talk with ease,
to the junkies, whores and thieves,
Would they love him in Wichita today?

And would the rich man think it funny,
if he said give up your money,
Hey, would they love him up on Wall Street today?

And if he made the wine from water,
and gave it to their sons and daughters,
What would the folks in Salt Lake City say?

And if he talked of brotherhood,
as he walked their neighborhood,
Would they love him up in Boston today?

And if he said love those who use you
and forgive those who abuse you,
If he turned the other cheek what could we say?

Would you laugh, would you call him crazy,
and just send him on his way,
if Jesus came to your town today?

And if said love those who use you
and forgive those who abuse you,
If he turned the other cheek what could we say?

Would you laugh, would you call him crazy,
and just send him on his way,
if Jesus came to your town today?

Ohhh, ohhhh, if Jesus came to your town today
