About

This song, written by Margaret Archer and Chet Atkins, confronts the subject of Christian television evangelists and their often opulent lifestyles paired with regular requests for cash donations from viewers, and asks how intrinsically Christian such behavior is.

Would Jesus Wear a Rolex Lyrics

Woke up this mornin', turned on the t.v. set
There in livin' color, was somethin' I can't forget
This man was preachin' at me, yeah, layin' on the charm
Askin' me for twenty, with ten-thousand on his arm
He wore designer clothes, and a big smile on his face
Sellin' me salvation while they sang Amazin' Grace
Askin' me for money, when he had all the signs of wealth
I almost wrote a check out, yeah, then I asked myself

(chorus)
Would He wear a pinky ring, would He drive a fancy car?
Would His wife wear furs and diamonds, would His dressin' room have a star?
If He came back tomorrow, well there's somethin' I'd like to know
Could ya tell me, Would Jesus wear a Rolex on His television show

Would Jesus be political if He came back to earth?
Have His second home in Palm Springs, yeah, a try to hide His worth?
Take money, from those poor folks, when He comes back again
And admit He's talked to all them preachers who say they been a talkin' to Him?

(chorus)
Just ask ya' self, Would He wear a pinky ring
Would He drive a fancy car?
Would His wife wear furs and diamonds, would His dressing room have a star?
If He came back tomorrow, well there's somethin' I'd like to know:
Could ya tell me, would Jesus wear a Rolex
Would jesus wear a Rolex
Would Jesus wear a Rolex
On His television show-ooh-ooh?
