Then We Are Decided Lyrics

Then We Are Decided lyrics

We've been sitting on the fence for far too long



Why let him upset us?

Caiaphas, let him be

All those imbeciles will see

He really doesn't matter



Jesus is important

We've let him go his way before

And while he starts a major war

We theorize and chatter



He's just another scripture

Thumping hack from Galilee



The difference is they call him King

The difference frightens me

What about the Romans?

When they see King Jesus crowned

Do you think they'll stand around

Cheering and applauding?



What about our people?

If they see we've lost our nerve

Don't you think that they deserve

Something more rewarding?



They've got what they want

They think so, anyway

If he's what they want

Why take their toy away?

He's a craze



Put yourself in my place

I can hardly step aside

Can not let my hands be tied

I am law and order



What about our priesthood?

Don't you see that we could fall?

If we are to last at all

We can not be divided



Then say so to the council

But don't rely on subtlety

Frighten them or they won't see



Then we are decided

Then we are decided
