AFRAID, by                    
First Line: Why slew they workman jesus
Last Line: Because they were afraid!
Subject(s): Jerusalem; Jesus Christ; Religious Education; Sunday Schools; Yeshivas; Parochial Schools


Why slew they workman Jesus,
A gentle teacher He?
Why rose they up against Him
To nail Him to a tree?

Those good men of Jerusalem,
So very just and staid,
They slew the workman Jesus,
Because they were afraid!
