Bebo Norman - The rebel jesus

^CAll the streets are filled with laughter and light ^Gand the music of the season

^Cand the merchant's windows are all bright ^Gwith th^Eme faces of the children

^Cand the f^Gamilies hurry into their homes ^Cas the ^Gsky darkens and freezes

^CWe'll be ^Ggathering around our hearths and tables ^FGiving ^Cthanks for God's graces

^Cand t^Dhe bi^Crth of the rebel Jesus

^CWell they call him by the Prince of Peace ^GAnd they call him by the Savior

^Cand they pray to Him upon the seats ^Gand in ^Emevery bold endeavor

^Cand they ^Gfill His chuches with their pride and gold ^Cas thei^Gr faith in Him increases

^Cbut they'^Gve turned the nature that I worship in ^Ffrom a ^Ctemple to a robber's den

^Cin the ^Gwords^C of the rebel Jesus

^CWe guard our world with locks and guns ^Gand we guard our fine posessions

^Cand once a year when christmas comes ^Gwe gi^Emve to our relations

^Cand per^Ghaps we give a little to the poor ^Cif the ^Ggenerosity should seize us

^Cbut if ^Ganyone of us should interfere ^Fin the ^Cbusiness of why there are poor

^Cwe'll g^Get th^Ce same as the rebel Jesus

^Cbut pardon me if I have seemed ^Gto take the tone of judgment

^Cfor I've no wish to come between ^Gthis ^Emday and your enjoyment

^Cin a li^Gfe of hardship and of earthly toil ^Cthere's^G a need for anything that frees us

^CSo I bi^Gd you pleasure and I bid you cheer ^Ffrom a ^Cheathen and a pagan

^Con th^Ge sid^Ce of the rebel Jesus
