What would Jesus do we used to ask
you never hear that anymore
Pastor Joel locks his opulent doors
we pass laws so we can’t help our hungry brothers
place barricades to thwart those who are weary
What would Jesus do, I ask
He would have compassion for the poor, the sick, and the lesser
He would hold those in contempt who don’t feel the same
He would look at these monuments of stone
and weep for those suffering without need
The cross that so many bear around their necks
bear witness to the disconnect of his message
Anger, judgment, and superiority reign supreme
This is a world of man, steadfastly avoiding looking up
They are cherry pickers and honor only convenience
The cross that so many bear around their necks
have lost their meaning
What would Jesus do
Not this
Not this
Not this
P.S. Parenthetically Speaking 
Hi X – L here. I heard the song and thought, “Now why would the lyric say, “Pastor Joel locks his opulent doors…?”
Yes, I remember the time during that hurricane when the church “could not” open their doors immediately because the hundreds of employees were trying to organize for food, water, accommodations, blankets, and space to put all those people.
The door are not even “opulent.” They are the doors that were there when it used to be the basketball stadium. I’ve been there.
Trashing someone like Olsteen and then talking about G-d, welllllll….doesn’t really make that much sense.
Olsteen is a really good fellow. I watched his dad on TV. The younger Olsteen doesn’t even take a salary from the church.
Said my opinion and thoughts. Great blog! Best to you.

The opulence line was more due to his immense wealth.
