When Jesus, when I say Jesus,
Eb
Ab
I'm not talking about some blonde- haired, blue- eyed
Pale- skinned,
buttermilk complexion cracker Christ
I'm talking about the Jesus of the Bible,
with hair like lamb's wool
I'm talking about that good hair
I'm talking about that nappy hair
That his body would be like beryl
Another scripture said his body
would be like jasper
Another scripture said his body would be like fine brass,
as though it had been burned in an oven
Jesus, the Lord, the Savior,
the Master, the Redeemer
Jesus, the Black revolutionary Messiah
Taken up on the hill,
up on the mountain by Satan, by the Devil
And the Devil talked about a
New World Order
The Devil talked about giving
Jesus all of this world out there
If Jesus would just seek an

If he would just bow down to him
And I say to you here tonight,
Devil (Black people need some peace, white people need some peace)
Get thee behind me, Satan, get thee behind me,
Satan (and we are going to have to fight)
We're going to have to struggle
We're going to have
to struggle relentlessly
To bring about some peace because the people
that we're asking for peace
They're a bunch of
megalomaniac war- mongers
And they don't even understand

We've got to fight them

We've got to struggle with them to make them
understand what peace means
