THE REBEL JESUS � BEBO
C
All the streets are filled with laughter and light
G
and the music of the season
C
and the merchant's windows are all bright
G Em
with the faces of the children
C G
and the families hurry into their homes
C G
as the sky darkens and freezes
C G
We'll be gathering around our hearths and tables
F C
Giving thanks for God's graces
C D C
and the birth of the rebel Jesus
C
Well they call him by the Prince of Peace
G
And they call him by the Savior
C
and they pray to Him upon the seats
G Em
and in every bold endeavor
C G
and they fill His chuches with their pride and gold
C G
as their faith in Him increases
C G
but they've turned the nature that I worship in
F C
from a temple to a robber's den
C G C
in the words of the rebel Jesus
C
We guard our world with locks and guns
G
and we guard our fine posessions
C
and once a year when christmas comes
G Em
we give to our relations
C G
and perhaps we give a little to the poor
C G
if the generosity should seize us
C G
but if anyone of us should interfere
F C
in the business of why there are poor
C G C
we'll get the same as the rebel Jesus
C
but pardon me if I have seemed
G
to take the tone of judgment
C
for I've no wish to come between
G Em
this day and your enjoyment
C G
in a life of hardship and of earthly toil
C G
there's a need for anything that frees us
C G
So I bid you pleasure and I bid you cheer
F C
from a heathen and a pagan
C G C
on the side of the rebel Jesus
