Let's make the glory land Right here where we stand Jesus was a walking man Egypt, Jordan, Judea Jericho, Samaria Jesus was a walking man In a shoe store down in Galilee Lace 'em up and set 'em free Jesus was a walking man Jesus was a walking man Jesus was a walking man I ain't dodgin' war in Syria Afghanistan, Somalia No I'm in the promised land I got everything at the tip of my hand Folks are starving down in South Sudan Begs a question as old as Abraham I got more, what's it for When kids are washing up ashore Jesus would've lent a hand Jesus would've lent a hand Jesus would've lent a hand Honduras and El Salvador Guatemala, Mexico Walk me, through that suffering Liberators, dreamers, Indians Mother Mary take my hand And let's make that glory land Some would build a wall and say "Send 'em back from where they came" But you know who would've let 'em in Jesus would've let 'em in Jesus would've let 'em in (spoken) Jesus didn't care what color your skin was, or your station of life He was a traveling man, and he loved everybody he came across He knew we all come from the same cradle, you know the one down in Africa, the cradle of all human kind? He knew all about migration and knew what it meant to walk a mile in someone else's shoes He saw the world's brutality He aimed to be a healer, to break the shackles of oppression Just like Harriet Tubman and Rigoberta Menchú, just like Rutha Mae Harris Some would a wall and say "Send 'em back from where they came" (Jesus would've lent a hand) I got more but what's it for When kids are washing up ashore (Jesus would've lent a hand) Shoe store down in Galilee Lace 'em up and set 'em free Jesus was a walking man
