Chord/Tab song: The Rebel Jesus

THE REBEL JESUSBEBO

[C]All the streets are filled with laughter and light

[G]and the music of the season

[C]and the merchant's windows are all bright

[G]with the faces of the ch[Em]ildren

[C]and the families hurry into thei[G]r homes

[C]as the sky darkens and f[G]reezes

[C]We'll be gathering around our he[G]arths and tables

[F]Giving thanks for God's [C]graces

[C]and the birth of[D] the rebel Jesus[C]


[C]Well they call him by the Prince of Peace

[G]And they call him by the Savior

[C]and they pray to Him upon the seats

[G]and in every bold endeav[Em]or

[C]and they fill His chuches with t[G]heir pride and gold

[C]as their faith in Him in[G]creases

[C]but they've turned the nature th[G]at I worship in

[F]from a temple to a robbe[C]r's den

[C]in the words of the rebe[G]l Jesus [C]


[C]We guard our world with locks and guns

[G]and we guard our fine posessions

[C]and once a year when christmas comes

[G]we give to our r[Em]elations

[C]and perhaps we give a li[G]ttle to the poor

[C]if the generosity should[G] seize us

[C]but if anyone of us shou[G]ld interfere

[F]in the business of why t[C]here are poor

[C]we'll get the same as th[G]e rebel Jesus[C]

[C]but pardon me if I have seemed

[G]to take the tone of judgment

[C]for I've no wish to come between

[G]this day and you[Em]r enjoyment

[C]in a life of hardship an[G]d of earthly toil

[C]there's a need for anyth[G]ing that frees us

[C]So I bid you pleasure an[G]d I bid you cheer

[F]from a heathen and a pag[C]an

[C]on the side of t[G]he rebel Jesus[C]
