All the streets are filled with laughter and light
And the music of the season
And the merchants' windows are all bright
With the faces of the children
And the families hurrying to their homes
While the sky darkens and freezes
Will be gathering around the hearths and tables
Giving thanks for God's graces
And the birth of the rebel Jesus

Well they call him by 'the Prince of Peace'
And they call him by 'the Savior'
And they pray to him upon the seas
And in every bold endeavor
And they fill his churches with their pride and gold
As their faith in him increases
But they've turned the nature that I worship in
From a temple to a robber's den
In the words of the rebel Jesus

Well we guard our world with locks and guns
And we guard our fine possessions
And once a year when Christmas comes
We give to our relations
And perhaps we give a little to the poor
If the generosity should seize us
But if any one of us should interfere
In the business of why there are poor
They get the same as the rebel Jesus

Now pardon me if I have seemed
To take the tone of judgement
For I've no wish to come between
This day and your enjoyment
In a life of hardship and of earthly toil
There's a need for anything that frees us
So I bid you pleasure
And I bid you cheer
From a heathen and a pagan
On the side of the rebel Jesus

Review about THE REBEL JESUS

Jeus loves Jackson Browne | Reviewer: candle | 7/4/2008

We should be grateful for artists like Mr. Browne. He has put to deed his words, and anyway, poets "do" words that touch others and motivate them to action. Those like Jackson Browne are long overdue for a powerful popular comeback with the missional millenial generation.

He is one of the few artists that hasn't sold out. He is too honest for that. He isn't perfect, just human. Joni Mitchell is another.

Are you real? | Reviewer: the pretender | 5/9/2008

I'd like to know if Jackson Browne gave the proceeds of this song to the poor? Do you practice what you preach? Do you have an alarm system on your ivory tower so as not to need guns to guard your fine possessions. Who are you Jackson Browne?
