AFRAID by CLYDE MCGEE

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!
