If I were hungry and hurting
Could I rise and turn to you
Would you color me different
If my skin was not like you
Would you hold me if I was dying
Would you need a reason to
Keep your faith if we
Came face to face
If I were Jesus
Would you crucify me once again
Would you stand by me ‘til the bitter end
If I were Jesus
Would you deny me would you fear me
If you looked me in the eye
Would you run out and desert me
Would I be someone to despise
Without a reason why
Would you hear my cries
If I were Jesus
Would you be the one to give me up
Or soothe my thirst and fill my cup
If I were Jesus
Would you leave me wounded in the dark
Would you bury me inside your heart
Unlock your chains
Climb out of the dark
I’ll share your pain
Come take my heart
If I were Jesus
