Verse 1 Juanito Was In Mexico In 1926 When Calles Closed The Churches And Ruled With Threats And Fists In Guadalupe's Chosen Land That Outlawed Holy Mass They Hounded Priests And Faithful Men And Thought The Faith Would Pass They Fasted, Marched And Pleaded But Calles' Answer Led So Farmers And Working Men Took Arms To Guard The Church Instead Some Rode With Rusty Rifles Some Had No Gun At All They Took Their Arms From Federal Troops Whenever They Would Fall El Catorce Led With Courage Gorostieta Made Them One With Rosaries Beneath Their Shirts They Faced The Federal Guns Chorus Viva Cristo Rey Let All The Pueblo Say No President, No Firing Squad Can Take Our King Away Raise Guadalupe's Banner Stand Firm And Do Not Sway For Christ Is Church And Mexico Viva Cristo Rey Verse 2 Juanito Spoke Of Miguel Pro Brought Out Before The Wall He Blessed The Men Who Aimed At Him And Pardoned One And All He Stretched His Arms Just Like The Cross Looked Straight Into The Day And Faced The Rifles With A Cry Viva Cristo Rey Young Jose Carried Their Flag A Boy But Brave And True They Cut His Feet And Made Him Walk To Break The Faith He Knew Deny Your Christ And You May Live He Answered Through The Pain My Faith Is Not For Sale To You Christ Lives And Christ Shall Reign Chorus 2 They Led Him To The Graveyard His Blood Upon The Clay And With His Final Breath He Cried Viva Cristo Rey Verse 3 They Had Not Lost Upon The Field Their Numbers Still Were Strong Then Bishops Made Their Peace With Calles And Told Them To Stand Down The Churches Will Be Opened The Mass Will Be Restored So Trusting Those Who Spoke For Rome They Laid Aside The Sword But Freedom Never Followed Though Bells Were Heard Again They Hunted Priests And Captains Down And Murdered Faithful Men Viva Cristo Rey Chorus Let All The Pueblo Say No President, No Firing Squad Can Take Our King Away Raise Guadalupe's Banner Stand Firm And Do Not Sway For Christ, His Church And Mexico Viva Cristo Rey Verse 4 Juanito Is Gone, The Years Have Passed The Rifles Now Have Ceased Yet Faithful Catholics Now Are Named A Disturbance To The Peace And Priests And Princes Of The Church Still Bow When Rulers Say For Safety's Sake Close Every Door Withhold The Rights Obeyed They Troubled Priests Who Guarded The Mass The Saints And Fathers Knew While Error Walks Through Open Doors And Speaks From Pulpits Too The Fight Today Is Faithfulness To Worship, Teach, And Stand Protect The Mass, Defend The Creed And Follow God, Not Man Viva Cristo Rey Chorus Let All The Pueblo Say No President, No Firing Squad Can Take Our King Away Raise Guadalupe's Banner Stand Firm And Do Not Sway For Christ, His Church And Mexico Viva Cristo Rey Outro Though Churches Close And Shepherds Flee The Faithful Still Shall Say Christ Was Our Father's King And Ours Viva Cristo Rey Juanito Heard Mexico Shout It Now We Must Shout It Too Viva Cristo Rey.
