What Shall I Do With Jesus? (feat. Douglas Field)

Behold the man

What shall I do with Jesus
He's not a danger
Just wants to change a life or two
What shall I do with Jesus
He's just a dreamer
And yet it seems to me you'll not rest until he's through

I don't understand just what it is about this man
That you seem to hate so much you would see him crucified

What shall I do with Jesus
What's the solution
An execution seems severe
He's not a rabble rouser
I could release him
He speaks of peace and love not of war and sword and spear

I don't understand just what it is about this man
That you seem to fear so much you would see him crucified

Pilate could not understand
How fast the mob could turn
They used to sing Hosanna king
But now they'd see him burn
We have no king but Caesar
So take this man away
This man must die, so crucify
He must not live another day

But wait - there's this Barabbas
Now he's a rebel
He's been the pebble in my shoe
I'm feeling kind and generous
So find your voices
Come make your choice, which man shall I release to you

This man Barabbas or Jesus the Christ
Which one will walk and who will die
This man Barabbas or Jesus the Christ
Which of these shall I crucify

Free Barabbas! Free Barabbas! Free Barabbas! Free Barabbas

What shall I do with Jesus

Crucify him, Crucify him, Crucify him, Crucify him
Crucify him, Crucify him, Crucify him, Crucify him

What shall I do with Jesus
What's that you're saying
Like dogs, all baying for his blood
I'll wash my hands of Jesus
Take him and kill him
Tear him and spill him, and drag him through the mire and mud
Tear him and spill him, and drag him through the mire and mud
