  • If Jesus could hear us now
    Bending all his words
    Of which he's proud
    But the carpenter was only
    Making invitations
    Voicing the opinions of others

    Sending down a word
    That travels well
    Only as a vessel
    As a bell
    And the violence you've mistaken
    In the words you took to be taken
    And the images of hatred
    Against all that we're worth
    All that you love
    All that you give
    All we hold dear

    If Mohamed could see us now
    Shaking down the walls
    But not as prayer
    And the power games that play out
    And the lies that come within out
    Against all we are worth
    All we hold dear
    All that is true
    All that we love
    All we dream of
    All that you give Writer/s: PAUL JOHN WELLER
