Once there was a Nazarene
Who walked a lonely road
He carried on His shoulders
A great and heavy load

Persisting in the way of love
He drew men to His side
Giving to them the truth He was
He gave to men new Life

Do en do...

He taught among the multitudes
He healed the sick and blind
He showed to men the only way
Showing them the light

Accused before the governor
He spoke not a word
Innocent of the charges made
Yet beaten on and scourged

Do en do...

Crowned with thorns and spit upon
The lonely way He trod
Deserted by His followers
He was crucified by the mob

He died that day on Calvary
And was laid within the earth
He conquered over death and sin
To give men new birth

Do en do...

He rose from the dead victorious
And He showed Himself to men
His earthly body glorified
He ascended to come again

He now sits at the right hand
Of His Father, God
To judge the earth in righteousness
And in His Holy love

Do en do...

Once there was a Nazarene
Who walked a lonely road
He carried on His shoulders
A great and heavy load

Do en do...
