Let's make a glory land right
here where we're standing,
Jesus was a walking man.
Egypt,
Jordan,
Judea,
Jericho,
Samaria,
Jesus was a walking man.
In a shoe store down in
Galilee, they summed up
and said I'm free
Jesus was a walking man
Jesus was a walking man
Jesus was a walking man
I ain't dodging war in
Syria,
Afghanistan,
Somalia
No, I'm in the
Promised
Land
I got everything at the tip of my hand
Folks starving down in
South
Sudan
Begs the question, as old as
Abraham
I got more, what's it for?
Kids are washing up the shore
Jesus with a lentil hand
Jesus with a lentil hand
Jesus with a lentil hand
Andorra,
San
Isalvador,
Guatemala,
Mexico
Bought me through that suffering
Liberators, dreamers,
Indians
Mother
Mary take my hand
Let's make that glory land
Some would build a wall and say
Send them back to where they came
But you know who would let them in
Jesus would let them in
Jesus would let them in
Jesus didn't care what
color your skin was
or your station of life.
He was a traveling man,
an d he loved
everybody he came across.
He knew we all come
from the same cradle.
You know, the one down in
Africa is a cradle of all humankind.
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, aimed
to be a healer,
to break the shackles of oppression.
Just like
Harriet
Tubman and
Griggo
Beathard men's shoes,
just like
Ruth
O 'Leary.
Someone build a wall and say,
send them back to where they came.
I gotta know them, what's it for?
Kids are lost on the shore to
the store down in
Galilee.
Lace them up and set them free.
Jesus was a walking man
