THE REBEL JESUS – BEBO 


C
All the streets are filled with laughter and light

G
and the music of the season

C
and the merchant's windows are all bright

G			Em
with the faces of the children

C				G			
and the families hurry into their homes

C			G
as the sky darkens and freezes

C				G
We'll be gathering around our hearths and tables

F			C		
Giving thanks for God's graces

C		D		C
and the birth of the rebel Jesus



C
Well they call him by the Prince of Peace

G
And they call him by the Savior

C
and they pray to Him upon the seats

G			Em
and in every bold endeavor

C				G
and they fill His chuches with their pride and gold 

C			G
as their faith in Him increases

C				G
but they've turned the nature that I worship in 

F			C			
from a temple to a robber's den

C			G		C
in the words of the rebel Jesus 



C
We guard our world with locks and guns

G
and we guard our fine posessions

C
and once a year when christmas comes 

G		Em
we give to our relations

C			G
and perhaps we give a little to the poor

C			G
if the generosity should seize us 

C			G
but if anyone of us should interfere 

F			C
in the business of why there are poor

C			G		C
we'll get the same as the rebel Jesus


C
but pardon me if I have seemed

G
to take the tone of judgment

C
for I've no wish to come between

G		Em
this day and your enjoyment

C			G
in a life of hardship and of earthly toil

C			G
there's a need for anything that frees us

C			G
So I bid you pleasure and I bid you cheer

F			C
from a heathen and a pagan


C		G		C
on the side of the rebel Jesus
