Jesus went to the temple one day His purpose was to kneel and pray As he approached the entrance door He saw money changers tables on the floor
With righteous anger, authority and zeal He cast out all who were not humble and real Those that were only there to buy and to sell Items they thought would keep them from hell
With small cords Jesus made a big whip The tables full of money he did tip His righteous anger was plain to see Against those who sold salvation for a fee
Jesus cleansed the temple with force He rode a donkey, not a rolls royce Then the blind and the lame came to him He prayed to the Father and healed all of them
Jesus restored his temple to a house of prayer He said come unto me, I will meet you there My temple was meant for worship and praise And not a place for money to raise
Modern day temples are lavish places But can you see Jesus on the peoples' faces All the fine buildings will crumble and fall No matter how wide, no matter how tall
