Little Andy Talks with God
Jesus is a Jew!
Hi there!
It's me, again, Mr. God.
There is somethin'
I need ta know.
I thought Jesus was a Christian.
But, daddy says he was a Jew. Daddy says so.
Where does he go ta church
An are you a Jew man, too?
It don't madder to me,
But some said they hated all Jews.
It's true, Mr. God.
I saw it on the news.
Why would they hate Jesus?
I don't un'erstand why.
Don't they know, when they says those things,
It will make him cry?
I think, ever body loved Jesus.
He was nice an was always kind.
Daddy says they let the devil
Mess with their heart an mind.
Daddy know aw'most ever thing
An he 'splains a lot ta me.
Sometimes, he says, "Jest ask God.
He will help you, Andy."
What is a Jew, anyway, Mr. God?
Are they good or bad?
What makes people hate them?
Daddy says it makes your heart sad.
Please don't cry, Mr. God.
If ya want, I'll be a Jew.
Would that make ya happy, again?
That's what a good Christian would do.
Does Jesus go ta Sunday School
Or is he too old ta go?
Does he sit an be quiet,
Or teach what people needs ta know?
Momma says Jewish people worship
On Saturday, instead.
So, I guess they like Sunday ~
So they can stay in bed.
Mr. God, daddy says
That they are the apple of your eye.
How that works, I dunno.
But, daddy says they often make you cry.
I guess, if'n ya had an apple in your eye,
It would make ya sore.
Daddy says that is true,
But ya love 'em all the more.
But, daddy says
They, sometimes, won't obey;
Like when I am bad, sometimes,
But he loves me anyway.
Yep, Mr. God,
I want ta become a little Jew boy.
I want ta make ya happy
Like when momma says,
"Little Andy, you are such a joy."
Daddy says Jews go ta sin-a-God.
We went by one, the other day.
It was a big buildin'
But, we didn't stay.
I don't un'erstand,
Why people would hate a Jew.
They look jest fine, ta me.
They dress jest like we do.
But, Mr. God is was so sad.
Someone killed the kids on a bus.
Daddy says it could happen here,
If'n they come for us.
Bet the little kids were scared.
But, now, they are in heaven, with you.
I cried, a lot, an mommy held me tight.
Is that why they killed Jesus, 'cause he was a Jew?
Them are some bad, bad, people.
Can't ya make 'em stop?
If I see 'em comin',
I'm gonna call a cop.
Well, I better get a goin'.
Tell Jesus, an his mom, 'hi'
An it's aw'right, with me, if they are Jews.
I still want ta live up there, with ya, when I die.
Someday, I'll go ta Sin-a-God
An see jest what they do.
I'll tell 'em that Jesus is my best friend,
Even if he is a Jew.
