They stopped saying prayers in school yesterday
and there's a boarded up
run down church
down on third and main
The Mission's overflowing
and the crime rate just keeps growing
and I'm not sure where it's gonna stop.
But man, this world is all we got.

What would Jesus do in times like these?
Would He walk among the sinners,
fall to His knees?
Heal the sick,
save lost souls the way He used to?
Would he throw up his hands and just walk away?
cry a tear for a world that's gone astray.
I'm not sure, but God, I wish I knew,
what would Jesus do?

What if He appeared right where you stand?
Could you look Him in the eye,
reach out and take His hand?
Show Him how we are changing this place
day by day with his amazing grace?
Its a heaven on earth, but man its tough
So I have to ask,
Is it really enough
