Would Jesus Be Welcome Acordes

	  C
I picked up this mornings paper,
F                         C
tears of sorrow filled my eyes,

read where a church spends forty million,
     Am                G
to rebuild and to modernize,
F
the walls will be made of granite,
                       C
imported marble on the floors,

there'll be lots of stained glass windows,
G                           C          A
the finest wood for all the doors.

    D                         G
The church invited the mayor, 
                             D
and half the folks from city hall,

to take part in the dedication,
       Bm                          A
of the church, that would stand so tall,
             G
it said, the local t.v. station,
                          D
will cover the story that day,

but I wonder if they invited Jesus,
A                             D
or would he just get in their way.
D            D7                 G
What I wanna know is what about Jesus,
                     D
would he be welcomed there,
                           A         Ab  G
if he came walking in with sandles,
                               D
dressed in sackcloth, and long hair,
D         D7                G
won't you tell me about the sinner,
                        D
hooked on drugs and alcohol,
                     A       Ab   G
oh Lord, it makes me wonder,
                              D
would he be welcomed there at all.
