Would They Love Him Down In Shreveport

B.J. Thomas

Transposer:

Intro:    If they saw Him riding in    Long hair flying in the wind   Would they love Him    Down in Shreveport today ?   If they heard He was a Jew    And a Palestinian too   Would they love Him Down    In Nashville today ? If they saw Him talk with ease    To the junkies whores and thieves   Would they love Him out   In Wichita today ?   Would the rich men think it funny    If He said give up your money ?   Would they love Him up    On Wall Street today ? If He made the wine from water    Gave it to their sons and daughters   What would the folks    In Salt Lake City say ?   If He talked of brotherhood    As he walked their neighborhoods   Would they love Him up    In Boston today ? If He said love those who use you    And forgive those who abuse you   If He turned the other cheek   What would you say ?   Would you laugh and call Him crazy    And send Him on his way   If Jesus came to your town today ?    If Jesus came to your town today...

La chanson évoque la rencontre de Jésus avec le monde moderne, en se questionnant sur l'accueil qui lui serait réservé dans différentes villes. Elle se demande si les gens l'accepteraient s'ils le voyait défiler avec ses cheveux longs, s'il parlait avec ceux qui sont rejetés par la société ou s'il prêchait l'amour et le pardon. À chaque référence à une ville, elle met en lumière les jugements et les préjugés qui pourraient surgir en fonction de la culture locale, la richesse ou le statut social des individus. C'est une réflexion sur la manière dont nous accueillons ceux qui, comme Jésus, prônent des valeurs d'amour et de compassion dans un monde parfois hostile.
