Jesus Christ Lyrics - U2

One, two, three, four 

Well Jesus was a man 

Who traveled through the land 

A hard working man and brave 

Well he said to the rich 'Give your money to the poor' 

For they laid Jesus Christ in his grave 

Hale, hallelujah 

Hale, hallelujah 

Hale, hallelujah 

For they laid Jesus Christ is his grave

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Well he went to the preacher 

He went to the law 

And told them all the same 

He said sell all your jewelery and give it to the poor 

For they laid Jesus Christ in his grave 

Hale, hallelujah 

Hale, hallelujah 

Hale, hallelujah 

For they laid Jesus Christ in his grave 

When Jesus came to town all the working folks around 

Believed what he did say 

Well the bankers and the preachers 

They nailed him on a cross 

For they laid Jesus Christ in his grave 

Photos 

And working people 

They followed him around 

They sung and shouted gay 

Well the cops and the soldiers 

They nailed him in the head 

And they laid Jesus Christ in his grave 

Oh, hale, hallelujah 

Hale, hallelujah 

Hale, hallelujah 

For they laid Jesus Christ in his grave 

Hale, hallelujah 

Hale, hallelujah 

Hale, hallelujah 

For they laid Jesus Christ in his grave 

Well this song was written in New York City 

A rich man, preacher and slave 

Well if Jesus was to preach what he preached in Galilee 

They would lay Jesus Christ in his grave 

One, two, three, four! 

Hale, hallelujah 

Hale, hallelujah 

Hale, hallelujah 

For they laid Jesus Christ in his grave 

Hale, hallelujah 

Hale, hallelujah 

Hale, hallelujah 

For they laid Jesus Christ in his grave.
