Lyrics
Would Jesus Make It Into America
Words & Music by Harold Mike Sizemore
⸻
Verse 1
I’m no Bible scholar
Or a preacher of the word
Just a plain old Christian guy
Who’s praying for the world
I’ve never seen so much anger
Or hate from my fellow man
Who says I had it coming
’Cause I voted for a Black man
⸻
Chorus
Would Jesus make it into America
When he’s trying to take us home?
Could he even get a green card
Would customs send him on?
If you stop and think it over
We might find we are wrong
Would Jesus make it into America
When he’s trying to take us home?
⸻
Verse 2
Now the hate is extending
To immigrants across the world
fear finally took over
And it’s spreading through the herd
The talking heads on TV
Telling lie after lie
While fake podcasters
Cry, cry, cry
⸻
Chorus
Would Jesus make it into America
When he’s trying to take us home?
Could he even get a green card
Would customs send him on?
If you stop and think it over
We might find we’re wrong
Would Jesus make it into America
When he’s trying to take us home?
⸻
Bridge
Now Jesus was a prophet
From what I understand
Preaching the gospel
And loving his fellow man
⸻
Final Chorus
Would Jesus make it into America
When he’s trying to take us home?
Could he even get a green card
Would customs send him on?
If you stop and think it over
We might find we are wrong
Would Jesus make it into America
When he’s trying to take us home?
