As she gazed upon the pathway where he returned no more
"Oh Lord I'd love to hold my baby just once more
And Lord I hope we never live to see another war."
Will Jesus wash the bloodstains from your hands?
Will He welcome you into that peaceful land?
Will He forgive the killing, the wars you have planned?
Will Jesus wash the bloodstains from your hands?
Well the the bombs you've dropped, the guns you've shot
all in the name of Peace
While the people begged for mercy you gave them no relief
There's blood on your hands, Mister, you'll answer for one day
And the tears you shed on that day won't wash your sins away.
Will Jesus wash the bloodstains from your hands?
Will He welcome you into that peaceful land?
Will He forgive the killing, the wars you have planned?
Will Jesus wash the bloodstains from your hands?
Now you say we could survive a nuclear war
And that you would use limits; You'd only go so far.
Well Hiroshima's horrors we'll never forget
For bloodthirsty warriors don't know when to quit.
Will Jesus wash the bloodstains from your hands?
Will He welcome you into that peaceful land?
Will He forgive the killing, the wars you have planned?
Will Jesus wash the bloodstains from your hands?
