Right Here In America (Live)

<p>There are Christians in Russia, they meet underground<br/>In China they&#x27;re killed when they&#x27;re found<br/>And in Cuba the Christians live up in the hills<br/>Because it&#x27;s not safe in the towns<br/><br/>And to think it might happen right here in America<br/>I know you think it&#x27;s not true<br/>But it&#x27;s happening to Christians right here in America<br/>Wait &#x27;til it happens to you<br/><br/>The Christians in Berkeley are passing out Bibles<br/>And food to the hungry<br/>They&#x27;re hoping to help out the people this way<br/>But there are threats of the lives<br/>Of their leaders and wives<br/>They&#x27;re not welcome to stay<br/>And to think it might happen right here in America<br/>Maybe you think it&#x27;s not true<br/>If you it&#x27;s not happening to Christians right here in America<br/>Wait &#x27;til it happens to you<br/><br/>There&#x27;s an underground church and it&#x27;s following Jesus<br/>And hoping to meet people&#x27;s needs<br/>But we don&#x27;t have the time to build nice little churches<br/>Besides we don&#x27;t need to -<br/>We&#x27;re holding our church in the streets<br/><br/>And we are passing out leaflets and underground pamphlets<br/>From Buffalo to Monterey<br/>And we&#x27;re talkin&#x27; &#x27;bout Jesus and all of a sudden<br/>We&#x27;re arrested and taken away<br/><br/>So I ask you, America, where do you stand?<br/>Your people are starving, they&#x27;re beaten and they&#x27;re raped<br/>And they&#x27;re dying in jail cells, so what are your plans?<br/>I&#x27;m not talking to congress or you politicians<br/>Or Panthers or Muslims or Nixon or Birch<br/>I&#x27;m addressing this song to the church<br/><br/>&#x27;Cause I&#x27;ve been in your churches and sat in your pews<br/>And heard sermons on just how much money you&#x27;ll need for the year<br/>And I&#x27;ve heard you make reference to Mexicans, Chinamen<br/>Niggers and Jews<br/>And I gather you wish we would all disappear<br/>And you call yourselves Christians, when really you&#x27;re not<br/>You&#x27;re living your life as you please<br/>If you&#x27;re really a Christina, then put down yourself<br/>And follow wherever God leads<br/><br/>I&#x27;m not talkin&#x27; religion, I&#x27;m talkin&#x27; &#x27;bout Jesus<br/>Put all your plans on the shelf<br/>Let&#x27;s stop marching for peace, and start marching for Jesus<br/>And peace will take care of itself<br/><br/>Well, I pray that we Christians will get off our sofas<br/>And stand up for what we believe<br/>The time is too short, and Christ is returning<br/>We&#x27;d better get ready to leave<br/><br/>We who are Christians should turn on the light<br/>So the truth will shine bright as the day<br/>Jesus will come like a thief in the night<br/>And he&#x27;ll steal all who love him away<br/><br/>There are Christians in Russia, they meet underground<br/>In China they&#x27;re killed when they&#x27;re found<br/>And in Cuba the Christians live up in the hills<br/>Because it&#x27;s not safe in the towns<br/><br/>And to think it might happen right here in America<br/>I see you shaking your heads and I hear you saying<br/>It just can&#x27;t be true<br/>But it&#x27;s happened to me right here in America<br/>Wait &#x27;til it happens to you
