Roll on up Jerusalem,
Come on in Jerusalem,
Sunday here we go again,
Live in me Jerus...

Lyrics:
MONEYCHANGERS AND MERCHANTS
Roll on up Jerusalem,
Come on in Jerusalem,
Sunday here we go again,
Live in me Jerusalem.
Here you live Jerusalem,
Here you breathe Jerusalem,
While your temple still survives,
You at least are still alive.
I got things you won't believe,
Name your pleasure I will sell.
I can fix your wildest needs,
I got heaven and I got hell.
Roll on up, for my price is down.
Come on in for the best in town.
Take your pick of the finest wine.
Lay your bets on this bird of mine.
What you see is what you get.
No one's been disappointed yet.
Don't be scared give me a try,
There is nothing you can't buy.
Name your price, I got everything.
Hurry it's going fast.
Borrow cash on the finest terms.
Hurry now while stocks still last.
Roll on up Jerusalem,
Come on in Jerusalem,
Sunday here we go again,
Live in me Jerusalem.
Here you live Jerusalem,
Here you breathe Jerusalem,
While your temple still survives,
You at least are still alive.
I got things you won't believe,
Name your pleasure I will sell.
I can fix your
(fade, screaming)
JESUS
My temple should be a house of prayer,
But you have made it a den of thieves.
Get out! Get out!
My time is almost through.
Little left to do.
After all, I've tried for three years.
Seems like thirty, seems like thirty.
CROWD
See my eyes, I can hardly see.
See me stand, I can hardly walk.
I believe you can make me whole.
See my tongue, I can hardly talk.
See my skin, I'm a mass of blood.
See my legs, I can hardly stand.
I believe you can make me well.
See my purse, I'm a poor, poor man.
Will you touch, will you mend me Christ?
Won't you touch, will you heal me Christ?
Will you kiss, you can cure me Christ?
Won't you kiss, won't you pay me Christ?
See my eyes, I can hardly see.
See me stand, I can hardly walk.
I believe you can make me whole.
See my tongue, I can hardly talk.
See my skin, I'm a mass of blood.
See my legs, I can hardly stand.
I believe you can make me well.
See my purse, I'm a poor, poor man.
Will you touch, will you mend me Christ?
Won't you touch, will you heal me Christ?
Will you kiss, you can cure me Christ?
Won't you kiss, won't you pay me Christ?
(Repeat)
JESUS
There's too many of you...Don't push me.
There's too little of me...Don't crowd me.
Leave me alone!
Hmm by fear I should say more along the lines of doubt and uncertainty. But still very human and undivine traits :)
This is why I love this movie. It portrays Jesus as a man who gets just as overwhelmed as the rest of us in our trials. He gets angry as seen in the market and he gets afraid as seen on the mount. There is so much I could write about this movie I love so much but the character count is too low!
The number 1 reason I love this movie is Carl Anderson, though
When I aways think of the temple scene i aways say to myself "DONT PISS OF JESUS"
name your pleasure I will sell.
I can Fix your wildest dreams,
I got heaven, I got hell...
Secular words... A motto for pushers and capitalists in general....
please spew your mindless crap elsewhere
this song rocks
