Will Jesus Wash the Bloodstains from Your Hands

I saw a grey-haired mother crying softly in her door
As she gazed upon the pathway where he returned no more
"Oh Lord I'd love to hold my baby just once more
And Lord I hope we never live to see another war"

Will Jesus wash the bloodstains from your hands?
Will He welcome you into that peaceful land?
Will He forgive the killing, the wars you have planned?
Will Jesus wash the bloodstains from your hands?

Well the the bombs you've dropped
Thе guns you've shot all in the name of Pеace
While the people begged for mercy you gave them no relief
There's blood on your hands, Mister, you'll answer for one day
And the tears you shed on that day won't wash your tears away

Will Jesus wash the bloodstains from your hands?
Will He welcome you into that peaceful land?
Will He forgive the killing, the wars you have planned?
Will Jesus wash the bloodstains from your hands?

Now you say we could survive a nuclear war
And that you would use limits; You'd only go so far
Well Hiroshima's horrors we'll never forget
For bloodthirsty warriors don't know when to quit

Will Jesus wash the bloodstains from your hands?
Will He welcome you into that peaceful land?
Will He forgive the killing, the wars you have planned?
Will Jesus wash the bloodstains from your hands?
