Jesus Was A Walking Man

Let's make the glory land
Right here where we stand
Jesus was a walking man
Egypt, Jordan, Judea
Jericho, Samaria
Jesus was a walking man

In a shoe store down in Galilee
Lace 'em up and set 'em free
Jesus was a walking man

Jesus was a walking man
Jesus was a walking man

I ain't dodgin' war in Syria
Afghanistan, Somalia
No I'm in the promised land
I got everything at the tip of my hand
Folks are starving down in South Sudan
Begs a question as old as Abraham

I got more, what's it for
When kids are washing up ashore
Jesus would've lent a hand

Jesus would've lent a hand
Jesus would've lent a hand

Honduras and El Salvador
Guatemala, Mexico
Walk me, through that suffering
Liberators, dreamers, Indians
Mother Mary take my hand
And let's make that glory land

Some would build a wall and say
"Send 'em back from where they came"
But you know who would've let 'em in

Jesus would've let 'em in
Jesus would've let 'em in

(spoken)
Jesus didn't care what color your skin was, or your station of life
He was a traveling man, and he loved everybody he came across
He knew we all come from the same cradle, you know the one down in Africa, the cradle of all human kind?
He knew all about migration and knew what it meant to walk a mile in someone else's shoes
He saw the world's brutality
He aimed to be a healer, to break the shackles of oppression
Just like Harriet Tubman and Rigoberta Menchú, just like Rutha Mae Harris

Some would a wall and say
"Send 'em back from where they came"
(Jesus would've lent a hand)
I got more but what's it for
When kids are washing up ashore
(Jesus would've lent a hand)
Shoe store down in Galilee
Lace 'em up and set 'em free
Jesus was a walking man
