[Intro: Talib Kweli]
Lord
You came upon at midnight clear
To bring joy to the world and draw us near
It was a holy night, when you came from up above
To fill our hearts with hope and love
Oh thank you Jesus
Oh thank you sweet Jesus!
For clothing us with comfort and joy
[Verse 1: Talib Kweli]
A Rio de Janeiro there stands an immaculate effigy of a copper skinned, wooly haired Palestinian refugee
Who would never be defined by the state of religious labels
Enemy of the status quo, he was flipping over the tables
The birth of Jesus caused for celеbration from the church of preachers
Pеople going to church less these days, the pastors search for reasons
Congregations hostile, be wary of the prosperity gospel
Yeah they operate on faith but they still logical
Some say improbable, impossible, unbelievable
A fairytale about as mythological as Pikachu
Others say he’s a composite of sketches religious leaders drew
A tool to used to make it easier to keep deceiving you
Treating you like a child, playing hide and seek and peekaboo
You can get the New Testament translated to Hebrew too
So when asking “What would Jesus do?”
Factor in that he’s a Jew
In fact, Muslims also believe in Jesus
Call him Isa, true
