JESUS WAS A DRAG QUEEN
by Mercy Bell & Melody Walker
Jesus was a drag queen
In a long dress
Loving all his enemies
Making a mess
And if he ever came back
In his sandals and curls
They’d arrest him for dressing like a little girl
Jesus was a trans kid
Your daughter or son
Said they were a trinity
Many in one
Preaching from the mountain
That love is the law
And God is just another word for the underdog
Jesus was a drag queen
Hanging out with the whores and queers
Said what you do for the least of these
Will bring the kingdom of heaven here
Jesus was a communist
Giving away
All the loaves and fishes
In Galilee Bay
Scolding all the rich folk
That greed is a lie
It’s like tryna fit a camel through a needle’s eye
Jesus was a feminist
Listened to all
Didn’t judge a jezebel
Let her stand tall
And on that Easter morning
He sought his best friend
The apostle of apostles was Magdalene
CHORUS
Jesus was a radical
Preached against hate
Enemy to no one
Except for the state
Practiced nonviolence
And maybe that’s why
Ol’ Judas made a deal and he was crucified
CHORUS
My Archbishop introduced me to this song...and it's been on repeat in my life ever since. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Thank you for such a beautiful, truth-telling song!
Our church plays this hymn at least once a service.
Then it’s not a church
You're amazing......you're all amazing. Rockin' my world. thank you
Saw you in The grove house tonight in Mariposa. Absolutley brilliant you were! We travel home to Spain next week and we will share your talent with our friends.
We played this somg at my UU fellowship 💙 love it
I heard you play this song with Bonnie and Taylor Sims last night. Beautiful and so, so needed! I’ll be sharing this song with everyone I know!
Will you upload your acoustic duet version? It’s my fave ❤ (love every version)
Added this to my worship playlist
My friend just introduced me to this song
It's amazing :D
Also I'm surprised there is no one spouting hate at this song in the comments from what is saw /_/
Figured someone would be mad at this song existing lol.
I have quickly been proven wrong about there being no hate
In my life I have seen things been at clubs met a old man once singing just called him self Roxy,, In Knoxville Tennesse ,,, what a beautiful voice Roxy had ,, this was around 1995 ,,at the Carocel ,,,I bought one of His Cassette tapes ,,he sang the songs better then the original singers ,,,and he told me a story he would be going on 80's years old now that when he was young man he would dress up like a women and go in to country music road houses and sing ,, and the old country cowboys would Love him ,,until they found out he was a drag queen and then they would beat him up and run him off from the country music clubs ,,, he was a wonderful kind person and really was just a special guest that made his own cloths ,,I know his real name but Im not gonna post it his entitles first name was B last name was C, BC ,,I have looked for him BC aka Roxy drag name I still got the cassette tape from thirty years ago him singing ,,beautiful beautiful voice ,,and very kind soul ,,,real meek person ..
sounds like you met an angel. i am sure bc aka roxy had an unjust time of it`in this world, prayers for the better one to come.
Bravo! This is wonderful! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️
I have a new verse for you. It's important, I think. :) Jesus was a refugee/In Pharaoh's land/to escape the tyranny/of Herod's hand./and if he had been turned away/from Egypt's warm sands/well, we couldn't be washed in the blood of the Lamb!
Melody Walker! I am sooo glad I found you. Your music is life and you are brilliant! Shine on.
❤ FABULOUS, thank you.

Amazing song. Amazing message. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love this so much
Yessss been waiting for you two to do this!
Where does it say in the bible he was a drag queen
It doesn’t.
Have you heard of metaphor? Jesue is variously described as a seed, light, a shepherd, and a door. Jesus hung around prostitutes, tax-collectors and others considered by the pearlclutching religious elite. He was thought to be mad & demon possessed. It's not much of a stretch to suppose that if Jesus was around today he would spend more time with the queers & drag queens than with today's religious elite.
You’re missing the whole point of the song
It’s actually a spiritual song listen to the words. Not the title only.
@@boleynrecordsatl , her T-shirt is too distracting.
Amazing!
Yassss ❤
Deuteronomy 22:5) A woman Shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on women's garments. For all who do so are abomination to the lord...🙏🙏 Let's not forget leviticus 18:22) 😢
Dresses were menswear at that time, and heels were in the 16th century. It changes in every time and place. So you tell me what is "that which pertaineth to a man". I'll wait.
You still haven't answered Melody's totally sensible response to your point - which is at the heart of the song, and points up how silly this whole fuss about drag queens is!
All humans are born ignorant... stupidity is learned. Those who spend their time quoting scripture prove it!
If you're quoting Toranic law I hope you're keeping all 613 of them. No shrimp, no mixed fabrics, and the rest...
I love how this person just never responded
You don't mention anything about me Adam DAS moglee Cain alladan Joseph Achilles Ishmael Moses Isaiah gidian rabbi Jesus I'm David Austin Simmons gold Beach Oregon
Unbelievable!
We need to pray this singing group to know the real Jesus. He was in the world, but not of the world.
GOD IS HOLY!
We as Christians live among the tares and the goats. Think about that.
Jesus repeatedly refers to Himself as the Son of Man. By claiming this title, Jesus aligns Himself with the prophetic figure from Daniel's vision and emphasizes His dual nature as both human and divine. The point isn't to be above or under divinity. The point is to not judge, give love, and spread peace such as he. If you want to "know jesus" I think hugging a stranger is closer than preaching ever will be.❤ Jesus didn't care about what made people different, he cared about what we share. Such as the want to be loved and express love. Again, that might help bring you closer to god than your last sermon did.😊❤ Try to spread joy, not judgment. "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." (Mathew 7:1-2) Have a blessed day.😁
I suspect they know more of the real Jesus than you and your fellow pearl-clutchers do. You aren't the keepers of the pearly gates.
@@StevenWaling , WRONG!
Try reading your Bible! Just try it. Defend the video using Scripture. I’ll wait.
@@angelirohival6270 RIGHT! Why do fundamentalist sectarians assume that.the only way of reading the bible is their way when they're completly ignorant of the history of its interpretarion from the first century to the present? I've not only read the bible, I've studied its contexts.
@@StevenWaling , uh huh….
I would say generally I have enjoyed your music. But historical Bible accounts of Jesus never mentioned Him wearing dress. In fact the Bible says men are not to dress like wemen and wemen are not to dress like men.Duet.22.5 it is an abomination.
You obviously missed the message of the song. Jesus = Love & Acceptance. Not a person who discriminated against groups of people because of their identity.
Oh good lord. It’s a metaphor. Priests in biblical times were considered closer to God if they acknowledged their male and female spirits. They ALL worry extravagant robes and jewelry with painted faces. The Bible we know today was completely revised in the King James era to suit the political climate of that time. The water to wine wedding was between and uncle and his nephew. John the Baptist lived with a man. Ruth and Naomi were married. They turned Jesus’s wife into a whore. Mary Magdalene was the most important part of his entourage and the mother of his children. Bible study classes would teach you this.
Most flawed bible ever
We're all going to hell for mixed fabrics anyways
They don’t care what the Bible says. Isn’t it obvious?
This song is blasphemy
lol stay mad
It is beautiful, unlike Biblical cult terrorism.
