What Shall I Do With Jesus? ft. Douglas Field Lyrics

Behold the man

What shall I do with Jesus

He's not a danger

Just wants to change a life or two

What shall I do with Jesus

He's just a dreamer

And yet it seems to me you'll not rest until he's through

I don't understand just what it is about this man

That you seem to hate so much you would see him crucified

What shall I do with Jesus

What's the solution

An execution seems severe

He's not a rabble rouser

I could release him

He speaks of peace and love not of war and sword and spear

I don't understand just what it is about this man

That you seem to fear so much you would see him crucified

Pilate could not understand

How fast the mob could turn

They used to sing Hosanna king

But now they'd see him burn

We have no king but Caesar

So take this man away

This man must die, so crucify

He must not live another day

But wait - this man Barabbas

Now he's a rebel

He's been the pebble in my shoe

I'm feeling kind and generous

So find your voices

Come make your choice, which man shall I release to you

This man Barabbas or Jesus the Christ

Which one will walk and who will die

This man Barabbas or Jesus the Christ

Which of these shall I crucify

Free Barabbas! Free Barabbas! Free Barabbas! Free Barabbas

What shall I do with Jesus

Crucify him, Crucify him, Crucify him, Crucify him

Crucify him, Crucify him, Crucify him, Crucify him

What shall I do with Jesus

What's that you're saying

Like dogs, all baying for his blood

I'll wash my hands of Jesus

Take him and kill him

Tear him and spill him, and drag him through the mire and mud

Tear him and spill him, and drag him through the mire and mud
