What Would Jesus Rap?
The Weekly Standard ^ | 05/15/2006 | Matt Labash

Posted on 05/13/2006 3:01:15 PM PDT by bkepley

WHEN THE HISTORY of Christian rap-metal music is finally written, I pray to the Lord of Hosts that I don't have to read it. But if that fate should befall me, I'd feel gypped if it didn't include an extended encomium to the boys from Junkyard Prophet.....

When I blasted them from my basement, my wife, who has a stomach for Christian praise music, descended the steps to complain, which I took as a good sign...

The Jesus I know might rap:

Den of thieves; den of thieves!
What happened to prayer? You're a den of thieves!
You've taken my Name; made money on My fame;
Well now you've taken it in vain; and it's causin' Me pain;
There's people hungry for My Word; but through your noise it can't be heard;
With infinite justice, I could sue you; but instead, I think I'll just say...
...I never knew you.
