WOODY GUTHRIE LYRIC FOR HIS 100th BIRTHDAY WEEKEND (Christ in His Grace) - from Jesus Christ by U2

 

“Well Jesus was a man

Who traveled through the land

A hard working man and brave

Well he said to the rich, "Give your money to the poor"

And they laid Jesus Christ in his grave



Well this song was written in New York City

Of rich man, preacher and slave

Well if Jesus was to preach what he preached in Galilee

They would lay Jesus Christ in his grave



Halle, hallelujah

Halle, hallelujah

Halle, hallelujah

Oh they laid Jesus Christ in his grave”

-     From Jesus Christ by U2 (Woody Guthrie)

It was an obvious choice when U2 were invited to take
part in the Guthrie Tribute Vision Shared that the would pick one about Jesus. It was in their serious period – 1988.

Woody Guthrie’s socialism didn’t cause him to lose his
vision of Jesus. Jesus was a fellow revolutionary and this is a wonderful exposition of the Gospels that was sadly being missed in many evangelical Protestant pulpits of Guthrie’s day. English vicar and author John Stott called the lack of social justice by evangelicals the great heresy of the Twentieth Century but here is a folk singer keeping Jesus Gospel alive. It is Good News to the poor and it causes the rich to crucify the rebel. Jesus radical life and preaching
had him nailed to the cross a good three years before it happened. Even his birth caused a generation of children to be wiped out by the death squads of power. More preachers like Woody Guthrie needed!

U2 is one of my favorite music band. I have all the albums of U2. From them, Jesus Christ is the popular one.
