Lyrics

Bound to Join the Nazarene


Verse: Hey mister tell me have you heard about the Nazarene
He doin? signs and wonders like the world ain?t never seen
Folks askin? what can it mean
Just a touch he make the lepers clean
So get outta my way, I?m Bound to Join the Nazarene

Verse: Tell me have you heard about the fuss up in Galilee
He talkin? straight, he throw? the book at the Pharisee
Folks askin? how can it be
Just a touch he make the blind man see
So get outta my way I?m out the door I?m down the road
to Galilee.

Chorus: How you gonna hear him
If you?re talkin? on the telephone
I swear if he dies
And rise up before your eyes
You?d sit there and say it isn?t so
We just don?t know
You know it seems so very
Extra-ordinary!

Verse: Instrumental
So get outta my way, I?m Bound to Join the Nazarene

Chorus: How you gonna see him
If you?re starin? at the tele-vee
I swear if he dies
And rise up before your eyes
You?d sit there and say what?s that to me
We just don?t see
I mean, we can?t cater to no
Prestidigitator!

Verse: Hey let me tell you I begun my apprenticeship
I joined the carpenters union I believe in the leadership
All up and down the Gaza strip
He got the cripples doin? triple back flips
I seen him feed five-thousand with a single order fish and chips.

He don?t hang with the rank and file
He?s cruisin? the original miracle mile
So get outta my way I?m bound to join the Nazarene
So get outta my way I?m bound to join the Nazarene
So get outta my way I?m bound to join the Nazarene.
