Lyrics

When Jesus answered the question
About what matters most to do
He said that we should love each other
That means me, and that means you
But there are those who use him to divide us
What a thing to do
Oh no, they’re hijacking Jesus

Now some smiling preachers on the stage
Like to plant the evil seed
That they fertilize with rants of rage
Just to grow their fame and feed their greed
But if an injured man lay aside the road
They’d drive on by and let him bleed
Oh no, they’re hijacking Jesus

Hijacking Jesus, taking him by force
Hijacking Jesus, and setting their own course
On a path of lies and a road of hate
He never would endorse
Oh no, they’re hijacking Jesus

Now some politicians shout his name
While they rob us blind and they cause us pain
But the sheep still follow
Can they claim they know not what they do

Jesus spoke of forgiveness as he hung there crucified
With a crown of thorns stuck on his head
And a wooden spear stuck in his side
But if he’d known what they’d be doing in his name
I just know he would have cried
Oh no, they’re hijacking Jesus

Hijacking Jesus, taking him by force
Hijacking Jesus, and setting their own course
On a path of lies and a road of hate
He never would endorse
Oh no, they’re hijacking Jesus
Oh no, they’re hijacking Jesus
