Track 24 of 30 on the album "Ain't the Reaping Ever Done? (1962-1976)" (2015) [Intro] G A7 D A7 D [Verse 1]
       D                         D7
We're awaiting His second coming

             G
And we say, 'What a wonderful day'

         D
When God sends his only begotten Son

       E                       A7
Once again, to show us the way

    D                           D7
But lately, I've been wondering

      G
And a terrible thought creeps within

       D
If our Lord came back to this world today

         A7                   D
Would we crucify Jesus again?
[Verse 2]
         D                      D7
Would we call Jesus Christ an imposter

        G
When He told of His errand of love?

         D
Would we even take time to listen

              E               A7
To this messenger from above?

         D                             D7
Would we laugh every time He warned us

        G
And say, "Let him talk; speech is free"?

          D
Would His followers be called the lunatic fringe?

    A7                     D
Not nearly so modern as we
[Verse 3]
   D                                  D7
Perhaps He'd be placed in a rest home

      G
Once again, to be scorned by the flock

    D
And His keepers might say, "In this room's Napoleon

E                            A7
   And in the next room, the Son of God"

D                           D7
   Or maybe some modern-day nightriders

      G
Would take Him away in the night

          D
And place Him upon a burning cross

                     A7              D
Faces hidden beneath sheets of white
[Verse 4]
          D                              D7
While the few faithful knelt 'neath that cross of shame

G
As the world, once again, turned on Him

      D
If it happens, I want to be one of the faithful

            A7             D     D7
Or would we crucify Jesus again?
[Outro]
         G
Would we welcome Him back

   D
Or turn Him away?

                 A7     D
Would we crucify Jesus again?
