Would Jesus Wear a Rolex
Woke up this mornin', turned on the t.v. set
There in livin' color, was somethin' I can't forget
This man was preachin' at me, yeah, layin' on the charm
Askin' me for twenty, with ten-thousand on his arm
He wore designer clothes, and a big smile on his face
Sellin' me salvation while they sang Amazin' Grace
Askin' me for money, when he had all the signs of wealth
I almost wrote a check out, yeah, then I asked myself
(chorus)
Would He wear a pinky ring, would He drive a fancy car?
Would His wife wear furs and diamonds, would His dressin' room have a star?
If He came back tomorrow, well there's somethin' I'd like to know
Could ya tell me, Would Jesus wear a Rolex on His television show
Would Jesus be political if He came back to earth?
Have His second home in Palm Springs, yeah, a try to hide His worth?
Take money, from those poor folks, when He comes back again
And admit He's talked to all them preachers who say they been a talkin' to Him?
(chorus)
Just ask ya' self, Would He wear a pinky ring
Would He drive a fancy car?
Would His wife wear furs and diamonds, would His dressing room have a star?
If He came back tomorrow, well there's somethin' I'd like to know:
Could ya tell me, would Jesus wear a Rolex
Would jesus wear a Rolex
Would Jesus wear a Rolex
On His television show-ooh-ooh?
