Jesus Clears the Temple
Chorus:
Jesus clears the temple;
Who knew it could be so unclean?
He takes the prophet’s mantle;
Is He the king he claims to be?
I’ve seen Him work miracles,
Speak power and peace;
Now, chasing these swindlers out,
That power again is released—throw out the thieves!
I’m an honest businessman;
I help keep community strong
By offering services we all need—
Is making a profit so wrong? Here I belong!

This charlatan worries me,
That he could draw such a crowd
Maybe it’s time that we fashioned a crime
To chase “country-boy” here out of town—we must put him down!
Lord, this is Your most
Dang’rous act yet;
Take my advice, Just be quiet and nice
Or the priests will wring Your Rabbi neck—please keep it in check!
