Lyrics
Jesus, the Nazorean
Verse One
It?s an old true story that?s long been told,
?Bout a man name of Jesus in days of old.
He hung on a cross to pay for our sins.
He died that day, but he would rise again.
Chorus
Oh? Jesus, the Nazorean.
Jesus, the Lord we have seen.
Verse Two
Peter drew his sword that day.
Jesus said ?Son put your sword away?.
They asked him this man do you know,
When he said ?No!? the cock began to crow.
Verse Three
Pontius Pilate, he judged Him down,
Made Him carry His cross ?til he fell to the ground.
The people yelled ?Crucify Him?,
But Jesus said ?God forgive them?.
Verse Four
It was Friday that He died on a tree,
But three days later, He would make us see.
Life eternal to us would come
From Jesus? death and resurrection.
