If Jesus Christ had been a black man

Would they be indifferent to the color of his purple skin?

If Jesus Christ had been a black man

Had been a black man

A              E
  Um homem de cor
F#m             D              A
    A mesma mensagem de fé e amor

Teria o santo o mesmo andor?

Você teria o mesmo amor?

I don't know

    A mesma nobreza no gesto da mão
                             E
O mesmo brother, um negro irmão

Você lhe beijaria a mão?

I don't know
